I'm pretty sure every car is required by law to have that now days, to prevent kidnappings. Still a nice thing to have though.

Found this one inadvertently last week: you can dim the instrument lights during day use. Might not be a big need, but useful for times when you're sitting in your car at night listening to the radio with the lights off

That's funny, because I discovered mine almost the same way. It was the first or second day I had my TSX and I had taken it to meet my friends at a restaurant. They came to look at the car and I saw one of my friends was looking in the trunk. I asked him how he got in it. He though I was kidding, but I wasn't.

I thought the only ways to get in were using the key fob or the switch inside the car. Good to know...

I've read through all the threads so far but nobody's mentioned this:

While I was driving from Tullahoma, TN to Chattanooga, TN (beautiful highway scenery driving by the way), as some of you know, there are big, long hills... on all the other vehicles I've ever driven or owned, I need to constantly brake to keep the car from rolling down the hill, gathering speed as you go downhill.

Not the TSX (06, AT)... I let go of my accelerator pedal and the car keeps its speed downhill. I feel in total control, even at 70-80 mph downhill. I had to even accelerate sometimes.

Don't know if this is an engineered feature or what, but a nice feature in my mind, nevertheless.

Its an engineering feature. My 04 has it. Its pretty cool sometimes and an annoyance other times. Sometimes I want to coast down a hill to pick up speed for the next hill. When the AT tranny tries to hold the speed I have to switch it over to SS and then upshift.
