Now that I have about 3k on my car I've taken notice of some very interesting items.
On thing that realy impressed me about the fit/finish and thought that went into this car is that the other day, like an idoit, I attempted to pull out of parking space with th emergency brake on. Well, I have a stock nav system and bot did it let me have it - flashing red and saying "WARNING EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED."
Anyway just thought I'd share. Anyone else notice any other "touches of excellence?"
Here's a few (some already talked about on other threads):
- opening of windows and trunk with the keyfob.
- low-gas notification on navi, which then displays nearby gas stations.
- windows that automatically slide up to form a better, less noisy seal when the doors are shut.
- autoslide feature on front seats.
- The mere fact that both driver and passenger side windows have a one-touch auto open/close feature make my life a heck of a lot easier. A small and simple feature, but definitely a nice touch.

Watch your windows. When you open the door, they roll down a small amount and roll back up when you shut the door to ensure a tighter seal.

Semi already explained it so I won't repeat... but I'm pretty sure it's a feature only on the coupe. Since the sedan door actually has a frame around the window, it isn't necessary.
The real reason for the coupes front windows retacting and then fully rising when closed is to clear the bottom of the roof and proper alingment in the weather seal. Just got mine Thursday it was used but $5000($1 per mile) saved from a new one is fine with me. It's alot of fun, may keep it for a month or two[lol].
