Just got a 2011 TSX base manual 6-speed Graphite Luster!

And by the way I'm SO glad I did some research because I was about to put some BlackMagic Wheel cleaner on my wheels! I even bought the stuff at walmart! Holy crap I would have ruined my wheels.

I'm really digging the wood inserts on the center console. It really dresses up the interior - the overly plastic nature of which has been a pet peeve of mine on past second gen models. The only question I have is: why oh why doesn't the supposedly more upscale tech model get the wood as well? I'd be getting a tech model next time if I get another TSX when my lease is up in May, and a plastic console in the tech instead of the wood the base model has is an issue for me.

I have a funny story...
I worked in car audio for Circuit City and an elderly lady came up with her son and daughter. She wanted the best navi we offered. I asked what she drove (09 prius w/ navi). She didn't know how to work it. I smiled and told my boss that i'd be outside. when i showed her all that system would do then i taught here how to you it, it was like she had bought the car all over again.
I know tom tom/garmin offer good systems but they are NOTHING close to Honda/Acura navigation systems which were a one time the best stock system of any car brand.

Also, what would you guys recommend for the rubber at the base of the window sill? That is the #1 spot that needs the most UV protection imo. I learned this with my last car.

by the rubber stuff, do you mean the styrofoam-looking soft-touch material that's beneath the windows? i use 303 aerospace on that as well. interior-wise, i use 303 Aerospace on any nonleather surface. i do use aerospace on my steering wheel though. for the leather surfaces, i use lexol cleaner and conditioner. i do this usually every 3 months. i have 70% tints in the front and 20% tints in the back windows. you should tint your windows because they'll protect your leather.

Guys so how do I protect the outside rubber near the base of the window?? Aerospace 303 is no good for exterior protectant since it wears off quickly with the rain.
I really think that's the most important area of the care to protect. It definitely needs UV protection.

Deisun, congrats on the car! I'm thinking about buying a base 2011 6MT within a few months.
I'm curious, what do you think of the steering feel in your 2011? Specifically, what's the weight/effort like when making turns? For examples, when slowing down and turning into a parking lot and when accelerating on a banked turn or on-ramp?

Thanks. Well, that's really hard to answer. I like the way the car handles a lot. The weight of the wheel while turning feels good to me. It doesn't feel too loose like some cars and it definitely isn't too tight either. I guess you'd just have to try it out and see if you like it.
Overall the car handles very well and feels very racecar-like with the 6MT hehe. It's definitely a fun drive.
