It's the little things
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...

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.

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!

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....

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

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.

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 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!

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.

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)?!?

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

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!!

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).

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

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