haha i'm 100% on board with your thoughts. my friend's 07 IS...has one touch auto up/down windows on all four windows, but his tpms only tells him when there's a problem and not which tire. boggles my mind why they cut corners in some areas and not in others.

You tell your SO " the car shows you the individual tire pressures" and you'll get an "uh-huh" - tell them "you just have to touch the window button and it goes all the way up or down" and you'll get a "that's cool!"
