Daily Driver for LONG TRIPS

Jungle Prop · 03-20-2009, 11:25 AM

I've taken my Z on a few weekend trips and it's fine. Obviously the lack of storage is a pain, but we packed a couple of soft side duffle bags and it wasn't a problem. The ride seems smooth to me for a sports car. My only gripe on the NAV is that you can't put in an address or some other info while the car is in motion like on my prior Acuras.

Thats cool man, I am not buying a 2000-3000 dollar nav system when I can get a Garmin for 300...that works whenever I want to use it, and cost 1/10th of the factory option. I made that mistake on my Rover, it was just one of those things.

Well the on-screen control display and the integration is quite sweet imo.

Recently took an 8 hour trip, it was just me and the Z so interior space wasn't an issue! Oh yeah, was quite pleased with the average MPG.

Don't like the voice recognition stuff? Its annoying to me but you can tell it where to go when moving...

Not much to add about the ride quality that hasn't been said already...
