Driver side |

Picture taken as the sun is rising. Notice how the sun's rays reflect off of the car. I liked the effect. |

Auto-dimming rear view mirror with HomeLink |
|
This has to be one of the most amazing rear view mirrors I've ever seen. It gets darker at night so that headlights from cars behind you don't cause you to go blind. The built in HomeLink is great since I don't need a bulky garage opener clipped to the sun visor. |

Front of car |
|
The headlights are high intensity Xeon headlamps. On dark roads I can see for about 1/4-1/2 a mile (0.4-0.8 kilometers) in front of me. The biggest adjustment I had to make is the blue hue it makes on the road signs. |

Vehicle Electronic Systems |
|
Just some of the many options you can set on the car. One option I've really grown to like is that the seat and steering wheel move into position when you put the key in the ignition. Seat and steering wheel move out of the way when I take the key out. |

Language |
|
Car can be set to english/metric units as well as English/French. These settings are for both the computer as well as the voice for the navigation system. |

Navigation options |
|
You can have a 3-D birdseye view or a close up view. It also displays various icons based on entries that the owner puts in the 50-item address book or nearby points of interest (restaurants, ATMs, gas stations, Nissan dealerships, tourist attractions, etc). |

Navigation options (continued) |
|
One of the neat things about the navigation system is that if you miss your turn it will automatically calculate a new route, either to get you back on the missed road or a modified way of getting you to your destination. It will even get you out of traffic jams and around detours. |

GPS Information |
|
Displays the satellites that are currently in range of the car. It also shows what your latitude and longitute is as well as how high you are above sea level. This picture was taken right near the Arthur Kill River, so its right at sea level. |

Route options |
|
You may not know where you are, but the car does and you can ask it, "where am I?" Need to make a quick stop to the ATM or McDonald's? The car will find the closest one for you. |
