Sticking to the same general area, I noticed the rearview camera has downright abysmal clarity the very first time I used it, although the parking guides are as handy as ever.
Nissan’s GPS systems are historically horrible, and although I can’t comment on the accuracy of turn-by-turn directions (I never used them), I can confirm that the map itself seemed to be WAY off on more than one occasion (for example, saying I was immediately next to the airport runway when in fact, I was driving through a rural neighborhood ~7 miles away).
The interior layout and center stack is very cleverly laid out, and very simple. I like that a lot. The cup holders are a one-size-fits-all version, though.
The seats are 9,000 way adjustable, and heated (although not cooled like the G37 convertible I wrote about last year). They are superbly comfortable. The center back seats have annoyingly tall headrests that cause blind spots. You can’t really blame Infiniti for that, though – that’s a lawyer thing. If I owned the car, I’d probably remove the middle one at the very least.
The gauge cluster is bright and easy to read. The center LCD can display a variety of things, such as maintenance warnings, tire pressures, the audio that is currently playing that you can’t change, fuel economy, compass, etc.
