Haven't done it yet myself, but I like the ability to connect the Invisicord in the rear view mirror for radar detector usage.

And, while some have commented to me that the blue color accents on the gauges look tacky, I really like them. If you stare at them long enough, the numbers appear to float.

BTW, where is the secret compartment? Is it hard to find? I looked and couldn't find it. Maybe its not offered for cars in Korea.
Flip down the rear arm rest. Then, look on the passenger side for a little box. Pull it up, it's attached with Velcro.

I prefer to keep my eyes on the road

Didn't know about the secret compartment nor the handle inside the trunk. Very cool.

sunglasses took you 2 weeks? that's funny. did you know there is a door lock feature, too?

if you hit the picture of the padlock, people cannot open the car from the outside!

my favorite feature is the time warp button. hard to find, though

I was kidding, partially

It's significant to me because I've never had a car with it before, and turning the switch on or off can make the G a radically different vehicle. It's not just a traction control system, as it senses yaw and lateral acceleration, and reacts accordingly to retard the throttle and/or hit the brakes to keep the rear end from busting loose. It's actually pretty tough to get the car sideways with it turned on.

However, once it's off, the G is a true RWD sports car, with all of the inherent ability to control the vehicle with the throttle as much as the steering wheel. I haven't driven a RWD car regularly in over 20 years, so the VDC has saved me a time or two. It's fun learning it all over again, though my budget for rear tires is going to have to be increased

The thing I like most about my G is the NOS button on my steering wheel. It's the one beside the cruise control on/off button.l

My previous cars (except for the SUVs) always had the parking brake between the two seats. I like the fact that the G35's parking brake is on the left side of the car (under the dash) and not taking up room between the seats, thereby allowing a larger center console storage area (on the autos at least).
