What don't you love about your EX

[RollerEx35]

freaksrus...I totally agree.

1) The iPod interface. Awesome and my first experience with one. But I have 15k songs on a 120 GB iPod. I haven't been able to get past "K" when scrolling through the artists yet. If the interface did a "quick scroll" when the multi-function wheel is turned rapidly, that'd be perfect.

2) That downloaded contacts from the bluetooth connection are not available unless stopped. Why have the regular programmed contacts available and not the bluetooth downloaded contacts?

3) My dealer may be dead. Which was in an ideal location for me - close to the L and close to work. And they can't order parts right now. Which means a 30-45 minute trip to the burbs for any work that may need to be done.

Other than that, it's pretty sweet.

I won't say disappointing, but here's some minor inconvenience:- Still have not found a good place to fit a small box of tissue paper in my car. Oh well, maybe I'll go with those tiny bags of tissues or biodegradable hand sanitizer. - Wish the triangular side/rear window closed to the C-Pillar is bigger. I'm one of those driver who likes to turn my head around when I back my car. But visibility is pretty bad to a point where I'm forced to use the rear and side mirror. It's something I've adjusted. Guess there's airbags back there, that's why.

Wishes:- As always mentioned by others, I also wish the hatch/rear door is automatic. For this price range, it should.- I love the fact that the side mirrors are foldable. It's very nice especially when it was parked in a tight 2-car garage. But it's not automatic. Saw a Benz that has automatic, but maybe it's just too much to ask

Mine is a 2008 EX, NAV, Tech, Lux and is Black Obsidian with Grey/Maple interior.

Dislikes...1- Low visibility due to large side mirrors and inside pillar (Safety). I have to tilt my head at times to see what's out there!

2- Left/Right turn signals especially in the rear. Couldn't they just add one to the side mirrors or make the rear ones higher?

3- Of course, the minimal rear leg-room. This fact alone negates the purpose of having a rear other than for cargo! I keep my seats down all the time.

4- Manual hatch back. Why not automate the damn thing?

5- Flimsy windshield washers.

6- Lack of Visor Extenders (how expensive is that??)

7- Low rear visibility when seats are up.

I would have liked it to have...1- Leather Steering Wheel (like the Sport BMW X3 I had)2- Auto folding side mirrors3- Mapping of MY commands to functions4- 6 or even 7 gears. The G35/37 is more stable and rocks!5- Moooorreeee Visibility!

But then again, I do understand how difficult it is to satisfy the world. No car is perfect unless they make it just for me

I Wish I Could COMPLETELY disengage VDC... anyone know how to do so or turn the abs off?

[CaribMon71]

Driver seat height: Too highManual Shift (tiptronic): Wish "+" and "-" were inverted.Wipers: Not rainsensingSun Visers: No extendersTurn signals: No 1 touch function (multiple blinks with 1 touch, like VW Touareg)HP: Why couldn't they just give us the 3 extra hp?Tires: Puny looking - wish they were a bit wider.

I fully agree with RollerEX35 post about the IPod Interface...it's MISERABLE to get through a list of artists or songs or albums if you have more than 50 of any of above.

EQUALLY, the MUSIC BOX interface is terrible.....(Hard Drive)....Playing By Artist requires me to roll through every song by every artist to get to an Artist I want to play....all this selection does is sequence the content in alphabetical order by artist. It's miserable to get to Van Halen when I am listening to Evermore (I got to rotate through every song by every artist in between - up or down).

I don't understand why the keypad is useless in these searches...why can't I hit "V" and it bounces to the V artist?

The wheel is also useless...pretty...but useless....it doesn't speed up the search (jump ahead or anything there like)....it just bounces one at a time (as fast as you can spin, but you can move up and down at same speed).

What do you mean? I thought we have an option to disengage that, until the car is turned off and it resets it back to VDC ON.

[BrokenTiller]

Switch to turn off the VDC is located near your left knee. I call it the FUN button for snowy empty roads.

On the EX by pushing or holding the button by your knee you completely disengage the traction control and water down the Stability control but don't completely turn it off...

Thats why on dry pavement with the ex you cannot drift it.

If you don't believe me hit the vdc button in an empty parking lot crank lots of steering lock on and boot the throttle in manual 1 ( like you're trying to do donuts) the car will squeal and slide a little but the rear end will not step out and smoke.

I`m not sure but it seems like the power to weigh ratio is not good for the EX35. We don`t have that much torque on this car and it weighs almost 2 tons- 3,700-3,950 IBS. We need more torque i guess....

Generally I love this car. But any new car will have its faults, mine is no exception. 1. The rubber seal on the driver's door keeps falling off2. Too much glare from the dash on the windshield3. Lousy spray pattern from windshield washer4. Standard 17"wheels are too small - should be 18"standard5. Acceleration has too much lag time - feels like turbo lag. dealer says it is normal. Hmm..6. This beast is thirsty, I mean REAL thirsty! MPG is 16.5 combined - shameful!7. Rear hatch should have a remote button on key fob and on dash8. There should be an always-on plug for cell phone charger 9. Nav system cannot be accessed unless you stop vehicle. Dumb!!!10. Rear turn signal lights are too low and too small - bad design11. Tire pressure should be read from the driver's seat12 Scratch resistant paint does not work as advertised13 Very little marketing or advertising or aftermarket support for this car from Infiniti or other vendors. Makes me believe it is not in the long term plan for the company.

That's about itCheersRandy

just got back from a little drive. to get home I have to stop at a light, and make a left turn on to a bridge over the harbor. All I can say is that with vcd off, I made the left turn in 1st and was side ways half way up the bridge. If I can "drift" my ex up a hill, then this car has plenty of torque to do your little donuts...

(know your limits. know your car's limits)

Edit: p.s. I love RWD!

RioD007, I may have found your problem: "Stock 18's Wrapped With Wider and Super sticky 235 series tires"

Yes you indeed can get the ex sideways... as a matter of fact extremely sideways but on dry pavement you can not do a complete donut nor can you get the tail out at speed... This is due to the fact that you can not completely disengage the stability control..

If you doubt me... Go balls out and try it.... It will not

And its not my tires... its always done this even on stock rubber.

perhaps, with the 54/46 weight distribution, the assend is to light?

I don't like it when the radio decides it hates me and shut off.

[EX35_bernard]

Very minor peeve of mine is that the AUTO headlights come before the Park lights on the switch. So if you just wanted to turn on the Park lights and it was a bit dark or rainy the headlights will automatically turn on and off as you go to the Park lights. This is bad for your HID's.
