Does that really happen ?

Yes, I have been saved from locking my car with the FOB in it or the trunk, but I have never had it fall out of my pocket.

iCrap

Yeah i've done it several times. The car will proximity lock but only if you have the key with you, not if it falls into the seat and you walk away.

What proximity lock?

musty hustla

There is no proximity lock on Acura. If you leave the key in the trunk, the trunk will auto open and the car will beep in anger.

Chevy cruze has a proximity lock and it also will beep if you close the door with the key inside.

iCrap

I was talking about a different car, not an Acura if you read the post above.

ceb

Yes, I saw that, but I know of no older Infinity that has proximity lock.

You're the one in a million. That has never happened to me in all my 34 years of driving. I leave the car I either press the lock button on the fob, in the car, or put the key in the lock. The car can't correct for you just walking away because you're counting an auto lock.

There is a relock timer if I am not mistaken.

iCrap

G35 does it.

I'd be too paranoid to trust a proximity lock. I'm double and triple checking my car before I leave lol.

ceb

Odd. The G37 didn't have that when I was looking at them. It did have a relock feature (just like the TSX) where the cat will lock if you've unlocked it via keyfob but haven't opened the door.

Every G37 I looked at had a spot on the doorhandle that you had to touch to make it lock the door.

We are too busy drinking, eating, texting, and talking to actually DRIVE. Driving is the most dangerous thing we do everyday.

I kept my '04 TSX until 200K miles. Reason I kept her that long is 'cause she was damn fun to drive. My '12 TSX is still as reliable, though less joyful to toss around. I'm going to visit my Mazda dealer, which is conveniently next to an Acura dealer, to paw over the car again. Thanks for the replies.

Recently had a chance to drive the Mazda3. It is a nice little car, but gets pretty expensive pretty quickly. You can read my full thoughts via the link below, but at nearly $28k, I feel like there are other cars worth looking at, especially ones that are more fun to drive.

After ten years in a TSX (starting with an '04), I've traded in my '12 for a '15 Mazda6 GT. I will miss the note that the K24 sings at high RPMs. But right now, the Mazda6 fulfills my needs with a growing family and the need for a higher MPG commuter.

rawger

30+ for a Mazda? I couldn't do it. Good luck to you though.

GBalt

I actually got it for 5K off MSRP, coupled with my trade-in, I think I made out ok.

rawger

That's not to shabby then, as long as you like it, that's what matters, right? I just thought in that range there are a lot of options to consider.

How much did they offer for your TSX trade-in?

GBalt

I still owed 19k even, was offered 21k for it. I kept the miles low and the car pretty clean.

The Maz 6 wagon is so sexy....

Congrats!

did you get the Tech Pkg?

post up some pics

GT comes with Nav if I'm correct (highest package).

rawger

It's a great looking car, but the one time I test drove it power felt very lackluster in terms of power. I think it's because they want it to be so good on gas, acceleration was nothing close to how the i4 TSX feels.

iCrap

dat wagon.

i really want a turboed awd tsx wagon.
