I am discovering more interesting (but pretty much useless) features on
the Pathfinder. The display is a touch screen and if you select "Apps"
several displays come up that you can select. The first is a graphical
display of fuel economy, fuel flow rate and miles to empty. The next
page is a vertical graph and a pointer showing how hard you are steering
and in what direction in turns and maps a history of the turns you make
by how severe they were. The next page shows a large circle with
graduations within and a small, solid ball in the center. It displays G
forces during acceleration, de-acceleration, and lateral G forces in
turns. Stupid, but sorta fun to watch as long as I don't hit a tree
while mesmerized by the stupid display.

There's another display mode that scores your driving habits, measuring
how fast you accelerate, braking habits and some other factors. It
constantly updates and gives you a score from 0-100. It also keeps a
memory of past scores that you can compare to.

My wife is stuck on Honda CRV's. They're firm and very economical Micah
to drive. However her newest one has more butt wipes than any previous
ones. And like you said Richard, the touch screen to do anything can be
a nightmare for me. Way to many switchs on the steering wheel as well. I
shouldn't complain though. I drive my mercury and live it. About the
only time I drive the Honda is when it's really low in gas... lol!


Once I determined the tire pressure sensors were sending accurate
readings to the dash display, I decided I liked them. I like the radio
volume switches on the steering wheel. I really haven't bothered with
the rest of the techie stuff, other than to make sure it was all
working. Too much "much," if you will.


The one switch the Toyota misses on the steering wheel is the radio seek
button. While traveling, have to go to the far side of the radio to seek.
