The 100 NX has the tyre pressure sticker on the inside rear of the driver's doorframe, so that you can see it as you open the door and check the pressures as you get out on your way to the air pump ...

Isn't that common on Japanese cars? The X19 had the bonnet and boot release levers there - and often they didn't fit flush, so it was easy to smash them off.

Possibly - this is my first Japanese car - before that I had a pair of VWs and a Fiesta. The bonnet release for the NX is in the more usual right-side of the driver's footwell location, and the boot/petrol cap release is along the inside of the sill.

Our Mazda 323 certainly had the info in that same place.

'sun visors'? What are these 'sun visors' to which you refer? The Elise does have tyre pressures in the manual. But there isn't a glove compartment...
