Default New car observations

I took delivery of a Touring Z last Thursday, and would like to share some observations.
1. The High Intensity Discharge lights throw out lots of blue light and are great to drive with.
2. The car is very easy to wash and wax.
3. The sunglasses storage compartment is perfect. Hard to believe something this simple can be such a joy to use.
4. The view out the rear view mirror is just fine, you will be using the outside mirrors to check blind spots.
5. Storage in the little compartments takes planning. You'll need to be creative.
6. The aplication of a 3M Clear Bra requires an experienced installer, the front bumper is a complex curve. Not

even close to a do-it-yourself project.
7. The Bose: good news is that my automatic volume control is rock steady; bad news is the low end sound quality

is so-called "one note bass". I'm still working on setting the controls to get the most out of it.

The sunglasses holder is too shallow. Nissan needs to go find a Honda/Acura vehicle and copy it's holder. On the Honda version, you put in your glasses upside down and there is little chance of scratching the lenses.
