What's missing?
Little things I wish it had (in no particular order). Any comments/consolation/solutions are welcome.
1. heated steering wheel and shift knob! (I heard some VW's have this). I'll trade my seat heaters any day... my ass warms up faster than any other part of me for some reason.
2. a glove compartment that will actually fit a pair of gloves (look at the Mazda3's!!!!)
3. automatic volume control linked to road speed
4. something softer than those plastic seat backs that bruise the knees of non-midgets in the rear
5. remote windows-up (not just down)
6. minute:second display when playing CD's (I don't know why, I just want to see that)
7. sun-visor extensions to block the gaps
8. compass (just for completeness)
9. rain-sensing wipers (ok, I probably wouldn't like to use it but it should have it)
10. illuminated homelink buttons
I'm sure i can think of more, but I have better things I should be doing right now.

I've really been missing those mirror defrosters this week! The same ice has been on those side mirrors for 3 days now.

1) Heated outside mirrors (yes, I know the Canadian models get 'em, but fat lot of good that does me in Colorado)
2) Auto leveling on the HID's
3) Satellite Radio
4) LED marker/turn signal lights (never burn out)
5) Better stock tires (hell, the Contiextreme's I put on my sticker out for $120 apiece less than the michellin craps)
6) 6th gear on the manual a bit higher, there's no reason a manual shouldn't get *AT LEAST* the same MPG as an automatic

Hmm,I just want the memory seats and power passenger seat. Other than that, the car is pretty good!! (I don't have one yet though!)
I still don't understand why people insist on lighted steering wheel controls. There was a big debate on the G35 forums about this as well. After the first week of owining the car, I don't thin kthat i have looked down at them!! There is no reason to have them all lit up!! As long as the buttons have a different feel to each one (like a little pimple on it or soemthing), you should be completely fine.

Well, first I wish all the interior lighting matched (and looked better)...
Then defrost lines on the windshield where the wiper blades are to keep ice from forming on the blade surface...
Hmm...one touch open/close moonroof would be nice too. Oh, and heated mirrors.
and the track time display...
i can live without the rest of the stuff mentioned here.

I'm usually the only guy driving but memory seats/mirrors and a power passenger seat would be nice. Other than that some things I'd like are:
-XM radio and aux inputs
-remaining time cd display
-factory bluetooth option (or maybe a dealer install that would be integrated like the TL)
-one touch moonroof
-auto door lock/unlock
-lighted steering wheel controls
-maybe an all in one key
-cornering lamps
-compass mirror
-darker wood trim
The car is great the way it is but if they could squeeze the above in, the TSX may just be the perfect sub $30K sedan IMO.

It would be a safety risk, I think.

i don't believe solid chrome exists, i think its more of a coating.
now polished stainless stell would be money. you could even buff it when it gets scratched.
btw, i am happy with the chaep chrome, looks great, and probably knocked a couple bucks off the price.
my only gripe came when the auto garage door came down on my nose and scraped part of the chrome off the grill.:'(

6. lighted wheel controls
7. ability for driver to turn on/off all interior dome lights with one button

Some same, some new:
1. One touch auto up or down for all four windows (love it in the Lexus).
2. Rear Drive. (better weight dist, better handling, ability to fishtail easier)
3. Windows up on the remote.
4. All in one key fob.
5. Wider range of settings on speed sensitive wipers.
6. Free (Hey, one can wish...right?)

I wonder if the Euro Accord owners out there can tell us if they close all the windows with their keyfobs?

Have you have heard of anyone hacking US 9-3's to enable this?
Well, I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with my "comfort open" feature.
