"
You're not actually supposed to let your car sit and warm up. The manual says put it in drive and don't let it sit."

?? ok what does this mean ? if the X sits in HEAVY traffic for over 10minutes can we expect failed engines?

How 'bout this one...

Fold down your rear seats and enjoy your exhaust music, especially if you have a modified exhaust. Pretty significant difference w/the seats down...

That is how I drive. It is the exhaust sound that sold me on this car.

dont know if this only works with navigations..

but if u hold the BC(board computer) button on the turn signal lever where ud check the gas mileage and all that.. if u held that button for 5secs..the navigation screen shows u all the things that show up on that board computer...

so i cancelled everything out, so when i browse through the board computer, it only shows me date,time, and miles left to drive on my tank..
instead of like timer, mpg, arrival date and all that stupid stuff

I only found this out recently (This wasn't in my manual) so no making fun of me!

If you push the moonroof button up instead of sideways, it will go into a grill mesh mode for high speeds. The inner roof will go ajar and a mesh will spring out. Then the outer glass roof will tilt open. Way cool!!
