Love my 6 speed CLS but... wishlist
I wish the 03 CL-S 6 had-
-Brighter dash lighting
-A wider rearview mirror
-Seat belt presenters- like my Legend had
-Motorized & memory steering wheel - like the Legend...
-Rear windows that go up and down -like Legend
-Remote buttons on the key, no fob
-Bigger sunroof opening
-Cooler wheels - don't like the stock 03 wheels
-More bass in stereo
-6 Speed emblem on exterior
I know you can add these things but I still wish some of them had been stocked in.
That's about it, mostly minor things compared to BIG pluses++
+++++ 260hp engine and the 6 speed!
++++ HID lights
+++ Seats, roominess, loaded.

or a key/fob combo like VW.
-Bigger sunroof opening
The opening is big enough but the glass doesn't slide back all the way.
-More bass in stereo
Try bass up 3 clicks, treble up 2, fade forward 2 clicks.

Where is my super sauce?
I actually 'don't get it' when people turn their dash lighting all the way up (or get that indiglo crap 
). I've always turned my dash lights way down so their barely on and don't distract me.
I also think the mirrors are fine.
I guess I get enough carrots.
Enjoy you new six speeder!

I hear ya' buddy 
My only complaint was the lack of a windsheild washer fluid level indicator
I order for the CLS to be a great value, they had to leave out a couple of the "little" things, I guess,

I’ll comment on a few of these since I came from a Gen II Legend Coupe myself.
*** Brighter dash lighting ***
I don’t know. I don’t see this as a problem. Mine isn’t turned all the way up either, just bright enough to see in the dark.
I’m assuming you know there’s a dimmer knob….. right ???
*** Seat belt presenters- like my Legend had ***
Yea, I miss those too. That was a GREAT feature that the Legend Coupe had.
I even toyed with retrofitting these onto my 2001 CL, but never pursued it.
*** Motorized & memory steering wheel - like the Legend ***
My 91 didn’t have this so I don’t know what I’m missing.
*** Rear windows that go up and down -like Legend ***
In the eight years that I owned the car I only used the back seat like ten times and I think I only ever opened those windows about the same amount.
It was cool, but I don’t miss this feature.
*** Remote buttons on the key, no fob ***
Yes, that would be nice. Has anyone attempted to program the Accord key/remote for our car ???
*** Bigger sunroof opening ***
Agree, but our roofline design is the reason for this.
*** Cooler wheels - don't like the stock 03 wheels ***
Yes, like most stock rims they blow. Ditch them and get something unique.
*** More bass in stereo ***
The CL system is better then the stock BOSE in the Legend. Not to mention more features and you don’t have to go in the trunk to swap CD’s.
Buy a sub box and AMP and the sound will improve tenfold.
*** 6 Speed emblem on exterior ***
Yes that would be cool, but many of them would end up getting stolen and mounted on old Civic's.
You forgot to mention the power door closer’s on the Legend Coupe.
Don’t you miss those ???
I know I had to get used to giving the door that extra “push” after using the Legend setup for all those years.

Re: Love my 6 speed CLS but... wishlist
I agree with you about a 6speed logo on the outside as well as a bigger sunroof opening. What were they thinking with such a small opening. They might as well not even given us a sunroof.
I actually like our stock wheels and agree about the no bass and that is why I gutted my entire system.

1- differerent wheels. Who picked those?
2. The option of having no sunroof. Dont want it and would prefer slightly less weight.
3. Weight loss program for front end. Start with an aluminum hood for christ's sake.
4. Better anti roll bars. Maybe the comtech is the right solution. 225/50/17 tires. And please, I dont want the headaches and expenses related to 18 inch wheels.. 17 is fine for me.
