Absolutley Stoked!

[sketchr32]

Finnaly got to drive the new stag yesterday after two months and im spewing it took so long for me to get one. they are soooo cool. its smashed every expectation i had of the car from the pics i saw of it. and im still finding gadgets everywhere. the first time i sank the right foot in shocked me. it got up and moved quiet alot quicker than i thought. so happy, but now i do have an unhealthy obssesion with not closing the boot properly jsut so it closes itself haha.

[zei20l]

dont worry i do that too!! then people ask if im going to lock it.......

[sketchr32]

haha that makes me feel better to know that im not the only one haha.

[zei20l]

what stag did you get?? pics?

[180fan]

lol, I got mine a couple of weeks ago and I'm still like that

[66yostagea]

I've had mine 3+ years and every time I see Mrs 66 drive away I think to myself "thats a nice looking car" LOL

Yep, me too

Then when they see it pull itself shut, they always say "ooh, niiiiice". - yes I know, Stephen, could be taken as dirty, but I refuse to change it!

Yeah, had mine for 2+ years but I have only thought that twice... Once when my wife drove it shopping and once when we moved and my Dad was following the truck I was driving... other than that, I think it to myself almost every time I leave or approach it.

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

yeah i do the boot thing also, i sometimes let the women drive it on her own, just to know what it looks and sounds like, ... very impressed

had mine for a year and 9 days

I had a quarantine check inspector have a hell of a time with the tailgate in our S1 - he 1/2 closed it, then opened it when it was self closing, then tried to close it when the motor was still running.

I ended up suggesting that I could close it for him so he could move on to the car behind us

They are a top piece of kit, and welcome to the family!

[pixel8r]

welcome!!

Yes the self-closing boot is such a cool feature. Its so handy when you have your hands full and you can just get your hand on the boot to pull it down. You just let it fall gently against the car without having to try to slam it when you're carrying too much stuff.

The other tricks I like is the levers either side in the boot to fold down the rear seats, so if you're loading something big into the boot you dont need to go round to each side and fold the seats down first.

I'm disappointed the M35 doesn't have the extra cig lighter in the boot, although admittedly I never used it in the s2. Just would be handy if you want to carry one of those waeco fridges in the boot or something.

The s1/s2's also have a removeable mat under the boot - but mine was missing this.

So many gadgets

this might be going off topic but seeing as we are talking about features.... Does everyone elses S2 do this ?

Lock your car with your remote key, then unlock it again (let's say you accidently bumped the unlock button putting keys in pocket). In 30seconds, it locks itself again. It senses none of the doors have been opened within that time and decides it was a false unlock.

Now is this part of my clifford alarm or a standard stagea feature ?

[zei20l]

most alarms do this, and also the factory immobiliser (whatever it may be) should do this too. its not just a nissan thing, my honda did it, the scoob, the fiat does it too. its just a security feature incase you bump the remote

I reckon that's an alarm feature. Mine never did that, but with the aftermarket alarm, the immobiliser comes on if the key hasn't been put into the ignition after approx 30secs when you remote unlock/disarm it.

The M35 is self-locking (most annoying feature ever) but the s2 is not. Must be a feature of your alarm. Read your alarm manual, I've had alarms that do this but its usually possible to disable the feature.

I've yet to read the V35 manual through to see if its possible to disable the auto-locking on the M35. There is also obviously some combination of doors opening that will prevent it from locking again, but I haven't yet worked out exactly what it is yet...just seems to lock sometimes but not others...

[zei20l]

hahah if you unlock the car, and dont open any door, it will lock itself again. open a door and it wont re-lock. easy!

[Midol]

I also experienced your joy

The most annoying thing I found on the m35 is the top boot bit (the glass bit that lifts up) - I never lift it high enough when cliping the dogs lead to his collar and it smacks me on the head every single bloody time. Driving me insane.

The synchro switch locks on the awd to give 50/50 front/ rear drive when you start off. At higher speeds the computer takes over again and sends most drive to the rear except when the rear starts to lose traction.

nope. if I unlock the car, open the driver or front passenger door and close it, it will still re-lock. even with the boot open it will still re-lock. Its only been things like when all 4 doors open and close then say one opens again and stays open that it wont lock again - something like that. Like I said, its more complex than just leaving a door open, and I've yet to work it out.
