It's not a "wow" factor or anything but I think it's my car's way of saying "Hi! Nice seeing you again." Kinda like a dog wagging its tail when they see you come home. hehe
What sucks is the delay it takes for the puddle lights to come on when you walk up to your car. By the time they come on, my and whoever i am rolling with have already either stepped in the puddle or got in the car. It was funny the way I found out about the puddle light was doing laundy one night out in my garage. The side view mirrors kept lighting up, and I was tripping out.

i didn't know that if you press the sunroof button up, it will automatically open the roof all the way. and if you press it while it is opening, it will stop and stay where it is at...

when you want to close it, you press the button again.

--it only works when you have the switch turned to the closed position though.

Anyone know if there is a hack to make the US version cars roll the window up with the remote?

Do you have the Lux Pkg? If not, the mirrors aren't auto dim.

Just found out that my car can be started without a key. Looks like there is some type of "start button" or something.

when playing a CD, holding the up/down button until it beeps will get you to the next/previous CD.

I found out today that when my approx. miles left hits 0, there's still another 2 gallons left in the car.

I pushed it a bit this time, running the car 6 miles past hitting 0 on the range meter. When I filled up (402 miles from last fill up), I only filled 15.4 gallons. But it was a nervous last 6 miles, especially when I saw gridlock ahead of me on the freeway... The needle was definitely on E also, so both the needle and range computer are very conservative.
