Oh yeah..I know what you mean. The stalk returns to centre even when you put the indicators on continuous!
Again, I think its good once you get used to it!

In honesty you're the first person that has said they think it's good!
Anywhoo... To pass a positive comment - They do look superb 
Doesn't quite weigh it up for me though

Wheels are a bugger to keep free from scrapes, the spokes and outer rim sit out further from the tyre and they look shit once they are kerbed. Missus will have to be careful.
Sport Button? I thought it was just a button with an LED to look pretty. Nothing to shout about there.
In honesty I don't think i'd buy one.
My mate before he got his navara had a 56 plate 5 door 1.8 petrol sri with x pac and the 18's!
Looks the bollocks, but i also thought the seats are stupid. We went to blackpool in it and had to keep getting out! Also i totaly agree with the sport button! I had a go in it, and could see any difference at all when changing between the 2. Wasnt very quick either. Had a big boot though

just to clarify on the sport button, it was the 150bhp sri diesel i drove a few times and the difference with it on was easily noticable. the suspension seemed stiffer and the throttle response was alot sharper(power was delivered instantly).chances are you wont even know its on with the n/a petrol engines
as i said before the 150bhp 16v engine is a peach compared to the 120bhp 8v unit.
oh and i also cant stand the indicators, everytime i use my dads vectra i end up swearing at them, they just cut out at roundabouts, junctions etc and it seems sometimes it takes 2 attempts to make them stay on!
