24x24 is a decent sized garage. My current one is 18x18.

You did make a nice upgrade in interiors.
I had a 2007 Nismo CC. I still think the exterior is badass but the interior is almost identical going back to 05s.
Also the Nismo branding looked 9000x better then whatever the fuck Pro4X is.

Rather certain it was built originally for horses? 1910, the Model T was barely a thing.

The only two things I don't like on this interior.
1) The gear shift lever and those impossible to see little LED lights on the silver shift surround
2) The steering wheel plasti-leather was terrible
That's about it. The radio, whatever, replace it with an aftermarket with carplay and done. The gagues are great and easy to read. Some other hokey stuff like the dimples in the gauge hood for reasons but really it was a pretty well done simple and rugged interior. It looks old but IMO not offensive.
Colorado is a nicer place to be for sure. Now if only they'd fix those gauges correctly.

Are you talking about the info screen not being centered between the gauges and going into the tach?Johnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 9:28 amThe only two things I don't like on this interior.

The gauges really bother me. The screen not centered and one half circle cockeyed plus one full circle. Cruze guages are the same. IMO they should have found a way to shoehorn the Malibu cluster in there as it fixes it.Apex wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 9:30 amAre you talking about the info screen not being centered between the gauges and going into the tach?Johnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 9:28 am

It wouldn't preclude me from buying the truck, it would just annoy me. Kind of like how the STI has different fonts on all it's screens, lol.

No need to have the tach doing a full wrap, or waste the space currently occupied by the screen.
If they bother you that much, you can always get the work truck as that has the smaller screen and full wrap tach.

It'll be a tight fit for a 3rd person back there, but it should be alright. Also, there's no LATCH system in the middle since the seats flip up, so they'll have to sit behind the driver/passenger seats, it they'll fit. Otherwise you'll have to use the middle seat belt to strap one of them in.
How tall are you and the wife again?

6 feet and 5'8. But we have a minivan been for long trips. I think I can pull it off. Also looking for a less bulky seat to put behind me than the ones we have now and just put my rear facing daughter behind the passengerDevilchrono wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 12:01 pmIt'll be a tight fit for a 3rd person back there, but it should be alright.
