haha, yeah, my 2001 CL was twice as fast and when the seat was leaned forward it did it automatically (no additional button pressing necessary)

Dislikes:
Not suited for 6'3" driver (knew that going into it)
Small trunk (who cares)
Small back seat (who cares)
Not 100% mine (have to share with wife)
Not crazy about dot-matrix screen controls

*I'm coming from driving a Sienna Mini-van for 11 years along with an Xterra for 9 years so the G might as well be a Masseraiti for me!

Good:
Exhaust note
Exterior design
Technology/Features--you have to load up a European brand with $1000's in options and still not come close.
Stock Wheel designs (both)
Power

Bad:
Needs seat belt "presenter" like BMW coupe
Needs turn signal repeater again like BMW and others
Cheap gas cap door--feels like it's going to break at every fill up
Faux vents/"Missing" fog lights
Altima coupe needs to go away so people don't think the G is a luxed-up version of it.

Totally love this ride!

Good:
More relaible than European competition.
Looks nice and classy but not too flashy.
Wheels & brakes on the S make the competition look cheap.
They're pretty rare in my neck of the woods.
Push button start. Thought it was a gimmick but it's REALLY convenient.

Bad:
Poor and inconsistent UI's. Still better than most cars though.
Window automatically rolling up that last little bit is plain stupid.
Audio system - Have to rip CD's MB, can't navigate MB, can't play mp3s off DVD, inconsistent UI, etc.
Soft paint.
Too many settings have to be done by the dealer.

1. Styling
2. Performance
3. High-Tech features
4. LEDs & Xenon HID
5. Easy Mods to customize

Dislikes
1. Slow seatbelt retractors
2. Music Interface
3. Gas mileage
4. UI not always intuitive
5. Not great in deep snow (live in Canada.....)

not to mention the small trunk can be difficult but that would be 6 items.

Have lots more likes than dislikes - great car - a lot of fun with great curb appeal for others.

I have to admit these 2 things are a pet peeve of mine as well. My wife ALWAYS closes the passenger door by pushing on the window and I have to rub off the finger prints.

Yeah, but after it is in place.... sweetness...

I loaded Goog411 on my phone and in my car's Bluetooth. It's sweet when I need to call Google from my car. Try it...
