Favorite Minor Feature On Your Z

Vaughanabe13 · 07-09-2013, 04:11 PM

As for my minor features that I appreciate:

1) Auto-dimming rearview mirror. This is one of my absolute favorites, having never had one before. It makes night driving so much more comfortable. Now if only the side mirrors also dimmed.

2) The preamp automatically raises/lowers the volume of your music slightly as you speed up/slow down. It's subtle but it works well most of the time. Note: This is for 2009 touring with bose and non-nav. I'm not sure if all models have this.

3) How fast the car both cools down and heats up. It's probably mostly due to the small interior space, but it works really well. It cools the cabin on a hot summer day about 3x faster than any other car I've been in.

Lol, I hate both of those features, I turn the dimmer off as soon as I get in, and the speaker thingy would be nice if it increased volume smoother vs making small jumps (yes, I am that anal about it)

To each his own I guess, but why would you hate the auto-dimming? It makes no difference that I have noticed during the day and it cuts down on super bright lights and saves your eyes at night.

I'm with you. I will never own a car without one.

For the same reason I don't wear sunglasses while driving.
I want the rawness of driving, I want to know what car is behind me, I want to know that the guy is being a Dbag and high beaming me, lol

If I want to check out the chick in the car next to me, I want her to see my eyes are checking her out.

#2) Not on 2013 base models. Had this feature on my 04 G35 Coupe & enjoyed it.
#3) Yes. Nissan has good A/C's on their sports cars, my above G35 was excellent as well. GTR Forum members say exactly the same thing.
