1. The brakes will get better. Passed 3,000 miles now and the brakes have the perfect balance. Yesterday a woman skipped a stop sign and I had to engage the brakes full force. The car stopped immediately, and I'm very happy with that. This is my 5th car, and I've driven dozen of others. Best braking system yet.
2. Once in a while the trunk doesn't latch on, even though it seems that I applied as much force as I always do. Go figure. Minor detail.

Love the car as well. Can't wait to get in, and I never want to get out.

 

So to speak

 

The trunk not latching: I noticed this with my G35 -- there's a tab on the cargo net that occasionally got in the way of the latch. Could that be the problem?

 

I don't think it's the net. I think it's just the way it latches

 

I washed my car yesterday and got really pissed off at how bad the paint is. I've had the car for 3-4 months and already:

- scratches on the front bumper
- scratches around the handle area of the driver door
- dent on the passender side door
- bird poop that stayed on for a couple of hours left marks at 4-5 different places
- under the passenger door there's a bunch of dents from rocks
- scratch on the black trim around the passenger side door (no idea how that happened)

it's nothing new but yea, it's annoying

 

Yes it's very annoying, the scratches, marks and imperfections just appear out of nowhere. And it seems like the more you try to keep it clean and looking good, the worse you make it.

 

Not if you are using the right products

 

Yes, having the right products, the right tools and know how makes a difference. I was just referring to the basic things you'd do in-between detailing. Ex: removing bird crap in the morning before work with a microfiber and a detailing spray and maybe some water (no time for car wash). It almost always leaves a mark, either from the crap or from the rubbing. Claying and polishing would remove most of it I guess.

It's just that this car seems to require 10 times more attention, effort, and time than any car I had in the past. 6 months ago I didn't even know what clay was, because my car always looked great without anything but a car wash. It's sad that the paint doesn't match the quality of the rest of the car.

 

yeah I know what you mean, it definitely does require more attention than the average car...but IDK, for me I don't mind just cause I really enjoy working on the car and taking care of it. The better it looks then I feel better cause I know it's 100% thanks to me

 

Yea, I know the feeling and the personal satisfaction of a job well done. Also, it feels really good when people that are walking by or driving by can't take their eyes of your car

 

I want the cargo net (in the trunk) from my 2006 G35. The cargo net in the G37 is too small and is more of an annoyance than a help. There's not much that will fit in it.

 

You can adjust the sensitivity of the auto headlights in the settings.

 

I looked for this setting today and could not find it. Is this a new option added to the 2011 models?

 

It's in the Convenience settings. Scroll down until you see the Auto headlights or such, add or lessen the amount of sensitivity.

 

I wish I could turn the fog lights on without having to turn the headlights on. That's a simple feature our Altima use to have but can't do it on this car. Is there a way to by pass this?
