^No doubt it was easy, just thought the motors should be able to reset through the ECU as many cars are.

I keep one of those velvet clothes hangers underneath my seat.

All I see that you hated was the brake noise... ANY car can and will have brake noise at some point. Believe it or not, it is normal. I am sorry it turned you off to what is otherwise a great car. If there was something else, ANYTHING else, I would understand you calling this car a lemon. But brake noise? REALLY? What you really had a problem with was your service department. It does sound like they kind of suck.

Sandy, it could be your cheap Brembo brakes. I will buy them from you and help solve your problem.

Now I really hate dropping things between the seat and console. Dropped my iPhone 5 in there today at lunch. Had to move the seat to get it out and ended up putting a dent about 1mm deep in the back.

I bought a case the day after I dropped my brand new 4s in that blackhole. Tint scratch on the side bezel luckily.
btw, (stupid question) did you try moving the seat up, before back?

I tried raising the seat without moving it forward or backward, still couldn't reach. Moved the seat back while watching, still couldn't reach. Moved the seat forward, heard a crunching sound and saw my phone smashed between the seat rail and the floor where the transmission tunnel starts to flare.

For some reason, I tend to drop things down there (keys, phone, cards, etc) and I've found the best way is to raise the front and back all the way up and slide the seat as far forward as it gets. I call it Granny Position for the seat. Then I open the back door and practically lay on the floor grasping whatever object has fallen into the abyss with the very tips of my fingers.

Probably looked AWESOME pulling this maneuver in the busy parking lot at lunch time.

Fairly new owner of an '07 G35. Love the way it looks, but not so much:
1) Gas cap on passenger side
2) Ditto on seat belt comfort (I bought seat belt pads which help).
3) Seat belt won't stay in holder.
4) Agree about judging distance on passenger side...I'm always surprised at how far away from the gas pump I am.
5) Would have liked USB port for MP3/phone connection to sound system.
6) Bought "gap filler" to insert by driver/passenger seats...1st day in car, dropped key fob into the gap and thought I'd never get it out and would have to live in the car forever! Great solution...doesn't look awful.
7) Most annoying are the heavy doors which will not stay open...trying to get out of car with bags, briefcase, etc. is rarely pretty! Nor is my language!

1.paint
2. Tire noise when highway driving
3. Heating/ ventilation controls - flat out suck. Probably the worst system on any car I've
ever driven.
4. Seat controls on seat bottom press into side of leg
5. Trunk is tiny
6. Gas mileage

gas mileage

although I've only had the car for 3 days....
I also hate the doors not staying open.
also the gas mileage is pretty bad(even though I didn't exactly buy it for great gas mpg) I assumed it would get around 20 in town and around 28 highway ....am I dreaming about those numbers? Lol
