With 7K miles, three things I've yet to use...

1) Sunroof (yet to open it up. Don't want any bugs in the subwoofer at 90 mph)
2) Hoodlatch (could be a Fred Flintstone special under... of course the dealer has popped it)
3) Sports Shift (too many nightmares of my 03 TL's tranny)

You're missing out on a lot of fun by not using the paddle shifters. For aggressive cornering with the wonderful SH-AWD, manual shifting keeps the engine in the meat of the power band for accelerating away from the apex.

and use that hood release, good idea to check your oil once in a while. Especially on a new car they can use some oil during break in. Plus nice to gaze at the technology under the hood

How do you get bugs in your subwoofer when your sunroof is open?

Gaze at what? Practically the entire engine bay is covered up in plastic.
