Card holder is ok, in my opinion. Haven't you guys ever find yourself after parking in a garage or going in to any events that require a place to hold on to your ticket or receipts? I find it useful. Now I just put my speeding ticket that I got recently there to remind myself to slow down. Sunglasses holder is definitely useless. Automatic seat adjust is surely annoying. So many times I just sit there while my friends stand outside the car waiting for the seat to slide forward in slow motion. Arrrggggh. The windows slide up after closing is kind of pointless, too.

it has to be the card holder on the driver side. i have the feeling that it was more of a way for infiniti to cut costs---the handle ( the oh-sh$t bar ) must be more expensive than the card holder.

i have small sunglasses, so the sunglass holder works well for me : )

Re: vote for the most usless accesory in the coupe

Card holder is very handy on the NJ turnpike which uses cards for tolls (get a card when entering, use it to pay toll on exiting). Sunglass holder JUST fits my Bolle's. Cassette player is good for talking books and old albums I have on tape.

So my vote is:

Cupholders in 2003.5 6MT armrest. It's in the "what were they thinking" category, considering that no one in the car can reach them easily, and there are numerous other front and rear cupholders that they can.

So I took them out, and found that with them gone CD jewel boxes ALMOST fit, but not quite. Argh.

VDC. Ok. May not be usless, but it's the most annoying thing I have to deal with daily.

The brake pedal is an absolute waste. Everytime I push on it the damn car slows down. I am going to take it out!

hahaha jlrharley

as for vdc, its saved my life more times than i can count...i used to turn the vdc of all the time till i crashed my car.. needless to say i am never gonna touch it again..

so the most useless accesory would be the card holder or the sunglass holder? it seems like a tie so far

If you don't like the card holder, replace it with a grab handle. I've seen a DIY somewhere...

My vote goes for the slowly moving seats.

Jay, if that's the case you ought to be glad that you didn't need to drive a car 30 years ago.......

You didn't learn from your mistake (your right foot), and you want the car to save you?

Why would you need a grab bar on the driver side? To help you get in and out of the car? I don't know.

Re: vote for the most usless accesory in the coupe

My sunglasses fit in the holder, although it may rattle sometimes. No use for the card holder, passenger side compartment for cigarettes, and cup holders under the arm rest. I've actually used the water bottle holder in the door once. Most useless is the Bose headunit, replaced it right away.
