I just noticed that there is a driver exiting handle that none of my other cars ever had, most only have it on the passenger side. I just thought that was a nice little touch. What thing, ,maybe most people wouldn't notice, that makes you appreciate the car even more...

 

Which handle are you referring to?

 

Yes, I'm not sure what you're talking about either? Are you talking about the handle above our head to hold onto? If so, my GF and I did notice that as well and it is nice to have.

 

yes that one in the headliner...I couldn't remember what they were called

 

It's the "oh shit" handle!

 

It is great having that handle, makes exiting so much easier. Its usually found in German cars only I think.

This could be the start of something. What other "little things" make you love the TSX?

I personally love the fact that there is a "mode" button for the stereo steering wheel controls. You never have to take your hands of the wheel!

 

just wish it had a mute on the steering wheels too...ok I will save my gripes for its the little peeves thread

 

Is there anyway you can turn on/off the audio system from the steering wheel controls? I know you can switch modes, but not turn on/off....

 

ummm, hold down the volume button for a few seconds

 

I like the way the center armrest slides forward. It makes it convenient to rest more of your arm instead of just your elbow on long drives.

 

Though its not new on cars, I love the sunglass holder. I didn't have that on my 1998 Integra so its very convenient for me.

 

I really dig the auto up on the window. I use it daily. Not unique to TSX, but new to me!

 

 

Like that little cutout for a cellphone chord with the charger buried in the center console. Keeps me from having a charger chord draped across the car.................

Like that little forward slide thingie on the center console when I'm driving.

Fold-down console in the back with a beverage holder

 

NOT AN ASHTRAY.

LOVE it!

 

I'd love to be able to add a second door lock button like the passenger side door button to the driver side door, I always push the lock button the wrong way on the drivers door

My Accord has locks like the passenger door all around, superior design IMO.

 

another nice little touch is that your sunglass case will fit in the sunglass holder

 

I love the two lighter adapters one for a cellphone and the ither for my laptop.
Although does anyone have a problem to place their cell phone , my phone is speaker, yet I need it to be relatively close.

 

I really love the electroluminescent gauges. They're damn clear day or night and look damn sweet!

 

I like rolling down the windows with the key fob! Also the gauges as others have metioned, the button for the trunk, and the voice control of things takes the cake!

 

I like that triangular shaped plastic tray that slides out of the dash, to hold a slice of pizza. Very thoughtful on Acura's part.
;o)

 

Seriously. I knew the passenger one could be used when the driver is driving agressively, but when I saw the driver side one the only use I could think of was when you're driving off a cliff Themla & Louise style...



Now I know it's also to help people who are out of shape get out of the car.

 

Personally, I love that little blue light that shines down over the center console when the interior lights are in nighttime mode. It's so subtle, yet does so much.

Exactly what we call it here.... the "OH SHIT bar"

Didn't know it's for exiting the car I saw it few days after getting my car, and thought why the hell did they put an OH SHIT bar over here for the driver (ME)?!?

 

can't you just say "radio off"?

 

also I love the way the case falls forward when you open the holder so that you can easily grab it...simple but nice

 

I can say it all I want but nothing's going to happen........ it's like telling myself to turn it off by hand..... I don't have a Navi

 

what tray is that???

 

The only triangular thing on the dash is the emergency light button.

 

I was just kidding, but the car has so many thoughtful touches, a triangular pizza slice tray wouldn't have surprised me.

 

you got me there! at least I didn't go search high and low in my car for that funny tray.

Nah, I wouldn't want pizza slice tray in my car... NO eating or smoking in my car, period!

 

my : the grip handle on the inside of the trunk for closing it is nice, had similar thing on the BMW, really useful for avoiding fingerprints over the trunk lid.

 

How 'bout the fact that there's a trunk release button on the outside of the trunk (above the license plate).

Easy to forget it's there, but if the car is already unlocked, simply press the button!!

 

I like that too. Now if only I could convince other people to start using it...

 

Thought of yet another thing, I love the fact that you can set the trip computer to reset with fill up! I use to set the trip meter every time I got gas, no more! I also like the navi will go from day to night when the gauges are turned up with the headlights on (and navi on auto).

 

my car is so dirty from salt and crap that you'd be crazy not to use it

 

I'm sorry what tray are you talking about?

"I like that triangular shaped plastic tray that slides out of the dash, to hold a slice of pizza. Very thoughtful on Acura's part."

 

I can't imagine it being dirty after today. The rains should have washed most of the stuff off.

But yeah, most people still just reach for the edge of the trunk, leaving their fingerprints everywhere.

 

Please re-read posts #30 and #31

 

The rains over here on the West Coast today did wash most dirts off my car

Yeah, that's why I always rush out of the car (when safe to do so) and provide full luggage service
