I had to force the 2nd tire in past the changer. If they were mounted on rims I don't think I could have got the second one in

I guess we will travel light with this ride

I also went out and purchased a small Rubbermaid container with a lid for the trunk to carry things that I normally keep in the glove boxes (tire pressure guage, manuals, etc).

. My '03 had a much bigger trunk.

Ok works for me.

Looks like I might have to take my car in, since I'm fairly certain that the "back" button on my steering wheel doesnt work. When I got the car and it did nothing, I just assumed I wasnt using it somewhere where it should. But I've been on almost every menu in the system and the button does nothing (the one next to the controller works fine).
Can someone with a Navi that has the button give me an example of a screen where you can use it so I can test it out tonight to be certain that it's not working? Thanks.

I also can't delete songs while moving (It would be nice to hear a song on the music box, decided I don't like it and remove it right there, instead of remembering what I didn't like and deleting it later).

the seat heaters are no worse than my IS300s were speed and heat wise. Having two levels is really nice.
storage space is a little limited in the front. The glove compartment is absolutely tiny, and my center console is packed.
Cold idle isn't any different than on my IS either. about 2000-2500 depending on just how cold it is. I never understood why, but every car i've owned seem to idle at roughly that range cold.

Just discovered another gripe.
The car did not come with a block heater , my last 2 Nissan/Infiniti products did. I thought it was a standard thing that the Canadian cars came with . We really do need one in the Great White North, it is much easier on the car.
Maybe I just can't find it, I checked with Garnet Canuck and he has not noticed one either.
Did anyones 07 G have one ?
