i use the rear sunshade almost every time i drive at night. mostly when big trucks or acuras are behind me. really takes the edge off of headlights that the auto dimming mirror doesnt quite take care of.

try driving at sunset with the sun behind you, i bet you'd use it.

i dont really use the sunroof dial. its either opened or closed for me. its too hard to have it partly open and adjust all your other windows so you dont get the shaking.

i hardly use the mp3 input. too cumbersome to hold the ipod in my hand and i like to shuffle around songs, not listen to a whole playlist at a time.

i never use the paddle shifters. i came from a 5 speed with a short throw shifter, so any shift that takes longer than .4 seconds is too long for me

Though I'd never opt to remove it, I'd have to say the least used feature would be the memory seating. Others rarely drive my car, and the passengers usually adjust their seats according to how many are in the car at the time.

I don't and never will use the cigarrete lighter. Any passenger who thinks of using it will be ejected.

Any car without a cig lighter is a deal-buster for me. I smoke in my car; it's just a car, people! Same goes for polo shirts without a g***amned pocket!

I use the rear sunshade when parked in the sun, as it might help with interior fading and possibly slight cooling. Even though I have 20% tint, it helps to darken the back window even further. Don't have passengers much, but I can agree that in the hot summer sun, at the right angle, passengers can get hot back there. Although since the back window is so sharply angled(and rather small), its not as bad as many other cars out there.

Shaking? I open my sunroof two clicks, or sometimes 3, to let smoke out (yes, smoke!) and leave the windows up. With the 'vent' open on the A/C, that causes no shaking, nor excessive wind noise at any speed, and takes the smoke directly out of the car.

The windows are what I rarely use; any size opening in the driver's window causes wind-in-your-ear brain damage! My next car (if any) will be a coupe.

I can't stand the wind buffeting in this car....

The cabin filter is one of the best things if you ever pass an area with lots of skunks, get stuck be hind a bus spewing diesel...or any foul smelling occurance. It really works, hit the button and in a min or so all the smell is out of the cabin. I was surprised at how well it worked.

But I never use the trunk pass thru. It would be great if they would have made the opening big enough for a snowboard.

i hardly use the sunshade as well... but the main reason the direction of my commute... i have used it once or twice since i bought it before new years...

the wind buffeting, i noticed, is easily killed if you tilt the sunroof... the worse wind noise is with just the rear windows open... but all that definitly makes me appreciate the aerodynamics of this car... I'm coming off a '97 4runner, so believe me its a beautiful thing not getting blown off Lake Shore Drive in the "Windy" City...

other things...

don't use the lighter...

don't use the MPG tank reading...

don't use the phonebook...

don't use the panic button unless i feel like scaring an unsuspecting person... oh wait... i did it another time when watching someone parallel parking behond me and i was in my fiance's place... i pushed it to prevent a possible "love" tap...

don't use the recycled air mode but has anyone noticed how you can smell everything outside... there was a guy two cars ahead of me at a lightsmoking and i could smell it eventhough my windows were up... forgive me but i haven't had a new car in 10 years... (god i love that leather smell though)

always have ECT on..

always use surround sound...

one Nav thing i would like to figure out and/ or use is the settings for the MPH on different roads... anyone know how that one works?

another is the maintenance/ service setup in the information log... i'd love to have all that stuff set up to link with the calender ... (i know i know i should read the manuel)
