Still plenty fast in ECO, Im just so use to having the camry that had 33MPG and I knew I was taking a hit on gas mileage though. Rough streets in Atlanta, The sport mode wasn't even needed anyways. WAY TOO MUCH TRAFFIC here & I rarely drive on highways

I don't believe it has that option, This isn't the S model. But there is a option in the info settings for some steering adaptive shift function I dunno. I haven't read the encyclopedia of a manual yet. The Info settings are very much confusing though and I feel a lot of the Infiniti Connections in there are useless and I will never use.

One thing Im shocked to see is I don't think it has memory seat settings unless it just goes with the key user settings because there is not buttons like how Lexus use on the door. I do like the illuminated door stills and entry lighting though.

The graphics for the Navigation are nice though and very clear. But customization wise, Lexus has Infiniti beat by far!

Congrats! They are great-looking cars with lots of nice tech. Our G37 Vert has the 3.7 V6 and it hauls, even for a heavy ol' convertible. Well done!
