If you didn't need a back seat then that's what you should have got in the first place. I know I would get something more like that. Probably something German though.

Mileage has been going down since the reflash. Used to get 22.5 now I'm at 19.7. I can't really blame the reflash; I'm enjoying the way the car drives coupled with 100% use of the a/c in the car due to the hot weather.

Had my 09 reflashed at the dealer yesterday...only to get home and realize that my service receipt states that update #10-075a was applied. FML!
Shouldn't their system automatically detect and upload the most recent update? The service manager led me to believe he was aware of the new reflash and even stated he printed it out just last week.

Had my 09 updated with tsb12-027a, build date 09/09. The lag is minimized and you can feel the gears shift vs before it was a smooth acceleration. Like some already stated the rpm are little higher for a given gear and provides a positive feed back when gear shifts. One thing I notice when accelerating hard and you hit bump the rpm shoots up thus causing rough shift and unexpected lurch. Probably need more time behind the wheel to determine if I like the update.

Just out of curiosity, are you saying (through implication) that driving an auto is safer than a manual because one doesn't have to take their hands off the wheel?
I do agree on the M mode though. My BMW executed M mode perfectly. This G software basically won't let the shift go through under about 2,000 rpms. My former BMW started in 2nd gear in normal mode as a gas saving measure; would be nice of the G did that as well. I also agree DS should be as aggressive as can be. Oh well; maybe the next iterations of G37s will be as near perfect as possible.

Yes, I too am used to European cars where the manual mode is actually manual. Of course, in Europe the default assumption is that people know how to drive, which sadly is not the case in North America (where Infinitis have always been designed for).

Are you suggesting not all 2012's have the 2012 transmission programming? In all of the pages of this thread and the 10 others that deal with the same issue, I have not heard of any suggestion or evidence that early 2012's don't have the 2012 programming. Before wasting your own time asking for something that doesn't (need to) exist, you should check that first point.
