I like the center instrument position on the dash which makes it very easy to read. I find that when the gauges are in front of the driver the steering wheel is in the way of viewing some of the information. Since it is oblong in shape it doesn't seem to stand out like a one eyed monster.
What is your favorite feature on your 2nd gen xB?
for me it is the S-mode sequential shift on the automatic transmission - i really like being able to manually shift w/o a clutch when i want to. it really utilizes the engines power better when a boost of speed is needed or wanted 
it is also great for hill / mountain driving as it will help to use the engine to keep the vehicle in control on steep grades [up or down] by being in the proper gear...
