But now after driving it for a while or even a few hours or days, What's your favorite experience or feature about the EX35? What makes you smile about your car?

Well, I hope you say something more specific than saying "I love everything about it". Thanks for sharing.

Me = I love how easy it is to slide the tranny from "D" to "DS" and step on the gas, and it just pulls and pulls and leaves other cars in the dust.

First Winter, she's never gotten stuck... and that's with the Stock Tires on.

My other Vehicle...
2003 GMC Sierra Denali
w/AWD & QuadraSteer.

I also love opening the sunroof, sliding the gear shift into DS, pressing down hard on the gas and watching the cars behind me disappear, while listening to the intoxicating sound of the exhaust.

I could go on, but it would take pages!

Although i like the sound of the engine/exhaust, but I would love to have the same sound from the G or F

I agree the acceleration is great, as well as the sound of the exhaust and engine when it gets around 4/5000rpm and up. However, all I hear when I have the sunroof open when the car is moving is the wind whipping against that damn windshield.lol

Anyway I would have to say this car may have the best combination of luxury and comfort inside along with performance and looks outside for the price. I love the way the car looks from the front quarter view, the headlight shape looks great along with the 18in rim design(some of the nicest stock rims I have seen). Its great the way it pulls like a sports car in 1st and 2nd gears while carrying 2 tons and having a hatchback and AWD. It has one of the best looking Nav software interfaces that I have seen. The bluetooth works flawlessly...whoops you said the ONE thing I love most.

It would have to be having a sports cars demeanor with the convenience of a stationwagon.

yeah, the effortless acceleration, the exhaust note and the growl of the engine

Being an Audi fan, this car is wicked. It goes head to head with other sports car.

1. Very well balanced handling for a small SUV
2. High quality, well thought out interior design (except back seat area and storage)
3. Great looks parked and on the road
4. Lovely motor - sounds good and feels good under acceleration
5. Very tight turning radius
6. Nice seating position, placed well above the road - don't feel like I'm sitting in a tiny car waiting to be squished on the freeway
7. Blue Slate paint is very pretty and well applied
8. Sound system is awesome
9 Nav system is very good, but it should be allowed to work while on the road
10 Sonar and rear view camera are excellent
11. Auto rear seat down is nice
12. Dealership experience is superb
13. Distinctive design sets you apart from the crowds on the road
14 Seats are very comfortable for longer drives

Yes, I have some gripes too. But that's another thread.
Cheers

I just wish that I could have more control of what Camera View was in the Big Screen View.

I should be able to activate any Camera I want, at any time, until the speed of my vehicle cuts them out.

But, I knew that going in...which is why I got the car.

However, what continues to surprise me the more I use it is the user interface for all of the Nav, Music, Phone, Settings, etc. I keep finding another cool thing everytime I try something new.

For instance, this week while driving around to prospective colleges with my son, we entered our destinations in the Nav. We also wanted to see what songs were playing, etc, so we used the "Status" screen, split with audio on top and Nav on bottom. Then my son pressed the "voice" button next to the round controller just on a lark. (I had pressed it once before, thinking it controlled the voice feedback volume, but nothing happened, so I just left it alone.) Well, we found out that when you are on an active route, and press that button, the voice prompt tells you what your next turn is and how far away it is! Since I have shut off the regular voice prompts on Nav (hate having the music fade in and out just for a turn, and I can pay attention to the turns on the screen), I now find this invaluable - a stupid little button!

Another surprise - the turn list view not only showed the upcoming turns, but since we were on an interstate, also showed the distance to the next rest area if one was on our route - unasked. How cool is that?

Haven't even played with all the maintenance, fuel economy, etc. - can't imagine what surprises await me there.

The flexibility and usabilty of the user interface is better than any others I have tried or have lived with - Lexus, Acura, Audi, BMW, Mercedes - kudos to Nissan/Infiniti for figuring this out!!

We like the performance the car offers as well. It delivers smooth power when you need it. The DS mode makes driving all the more fun

Just a great all around package!
