Yes... to a certain point. One of the reasons we didn't buy an element but did buy a Ridgeline was that the side impact in the element was worse when a child was in a car seat as it moved them closer to the side pillar where they would hit their head. (element didn't have side rear bags at the time). Also, Once the kids outgrow the car seat and move to strictly a booster (or even later, when they don't need a booster) the side impact becomes very important.

OP, Congrats on the purchase, you'll love the Car. we have enjoyed ours for the last 3+ years and I still enjoy driving it daily. (couldn't say as much after just 2 years in the 3.5SE altima.)

Thank you guys!

Wife was cool with the mt. She did pretty good with my '03 Z which had stiff as hell clutch. Back in the days though

I want to drop it, around a inch or so. Not too low.

huh, i still have my 04' G35C which uses the same clutch and spring as the 03 350Z's the GE's clutch is definitely effortless vs my G for sure.

it's like stepping on a spider vs texas roach....the amount of force needed to squash. hahaha
