Also, there is another bunch of tactile buttons on the ceiling, around the sunroof controls. Unfortunately, my head is too close to it to read them while I'm driving. (presbyopia)
I would have that problem, but no fancy word for it in my case. I’m just getting old.

@mjfloyd1 just a PRND lever like a regular Nissan.Not seeing any PRNDL indicators on the console. I guess they cheaped out like GM did on the 2nd-last Impala and only put them on the instrument cluster.
It does have paddle shifters, though
The number and position of the switches can be criticized I suppose, but with all the toys and gizmos modern cars have, they have to be somewhere. I can only imagine the horror if you could not easily turn your heated and cooled seats on and off. I have no idea what "Auto Rest" is though, and why it takes up so much real estate there.

....and this one has 158000 miles and they want $5400 on Auto Trader.
I'd move quickly on this hot deal, $5000, 50,000 miles.

There are mornings where we are $100 deep before the kids leave for school.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
I still have my Rotel RCD-855 CD player- it's a jewel. I have to stay away from used equipment; I'd be unable to resit.My issue is, I have time on my hands. I go to audio shows (next one is in Schaumberg, IL this coming Spring). I also go to the local antique malls and thrift stores. I find audio gear that I find interesting and bring it home like a lost puppy. I plug it in. If it works or only needs minor repair, it goes in my "electronics closet", where all the AV gear I've accumulated over the years takes up residence. I've got some stuff in there that needs to go back to the thrift store. Other stuff is worth some coin. I just have to do something with it.————————————————I've long been a fan of B&W audio, because I also use the speakers to listen to music (usually when no one else is home), but their wireless devices are getting absolutely PANNED for connectivity issues, and I refuse to go back to a totally wired system. I was going to buy their earbuds for my daily walking/listening to music adventure, but even those get lots of negative feedback about connectivity, and I don't have time or patience for that.I know some pan Apple accessories for being pricey. But, their AirPods Pro and AirPod Max headphones are rock solid for connectivity if you use an iPhone. And sonically, you'd have to spend a whole lot more money to get significantly better sound.
If you're into 2-channel music, that's a rabbit hole that goes deep and can cost a bundle......I know....I need help!
I’ve been told the first step to recovery is admitting you have the problem.
Unfortunately, you won’t get that help in here.

Re: 2024 Volkswagen Taos Lease Deals, Incentives, Rebates, and Prices
Hello KYFDX, I have been reading these forums since I moved to Illinois 21 years ago and my boss suggested it (and this will be my 15th lease for our family since then). And you were answering our dumb questions back then as well. Thank you for all the leases you have helped me on whether I’ve posted or not (I usually found some great info even without posting - and almost always make my decision about what car I want by perusing these forums and Edmunds’ site).
I was hoping you’d be able to share the MF/Residual and incentives for 60062 for the ‘24 Taos SEL 36/10k. Thank you again!

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
Well, if I had any serious thoughts of getting an upgraded soundbar or diving into some nice audio stuff, I’m pretty sure that’s going to be on hold for a few hours. Why? I just received 4 tires from Tire Rack for the Genny. Just a tick under $1,200. And now I have to get them mounted and balanced, more ca-ching. Add another hour to my first guesstimate.Kinda breaks my heart that the A7 has to live outdoors. But selfish wife insists upon a garage spot for her car. Just cuz she owns half the house... shoulda bought the garage myself.
jmonroe
Although, to charge the A7 overnight, the M240 spent the night in the wild, it's now lightly covered in snow. Oh, the humanity.
Smart getting the A7....now you can say you need the garage so you can plug it in.
When the grandchildren were teens MrsD100 and I got manual transmissions....so the grandkids wouldn't be able to borrow them
