Overall I love my 09 x sedan, but there are a few minor annoyances mostly with the navi:
1. would be nice if you could name stored address locations. I have like 10 places stored in the address book, but now I can't remember which is which just by looking at the address.
2. can't properly scroll through previous destinations. The screen will only show 5 of xx and when you use the wheel to scroll, it just stays on the first page and you can't get to anything past the first 5 destinations.
3. the main control wheel under the screen requires a really long and uncomfortable reach. Would be nice if it had been placed somewhere near the shifter for easier use while driving.
4. headlights come on too soon in auto mode (even at lowest sensitivity) and are activated all the time when I go under underpasses or short tunnels. I don't even use the auto lights anymore now
5. no compass except for the one in the navi, which is not that intuitive
I have never had any issues with water leaking into the trunk like many people here have mentioned. However, I do notice that the area above the rear bumper always gets really dirty, especially after driving through rain.

I've got about 20 different addresses in my address book and every one has a name associated with it
it's on page 6-10 of the Navi manual...here is a link to all the G's manuals so you can do easy PDF searches and find out how to do all the stuff you want http://www.g37-tech.com/wiki/Category:Service

Living in Houston, I wish the car had cooled seats in addition to heated seats. Lexus has had it for years. Hell, Toyota's offered that on the Avalon for at least 5 years.

I find the a/c in the G to help make up for it, though. It's one of the best a/c systems I've experienced, and gets cold much quicker than the system in my Lexus ever did.

lol you can name stored locations...just put them in the address book then go back and edit that location and you can add a name, change the icon that it shows on the map, change what number in the address book it is, all kinds of stuff.

Just two comments on the above two points (based on my '10 Navi):
1. You can go back into the address book and edit the name manually
2. You can go past the first five once your vehicle has come to a stop

How do you turn the car from engine running to the ACC mode without having the doors unlocked (and without having to press the button two times? i.e. once to turn off the engine then once again to turn on ACC). In the old G35 (or everything that uses a key in the ignition), all you have to do is turn the key only one click to the left ...

but like indycase said, he already knows to push it twice...there isn't any other way to do it.
Indy, in case you didn't notice there isn't a key to turn one click to the left in these cars

im really annoyed with the new software over all........its a lot slower than previous version. It lags every little bit.
also the way they set up the radio is annoying. No more A-B-C memories....i have to flip through all the FM's and AM to get to XM
