For me, the jury is out on the paddle shifters moving with the wheel vs being fixed. I found a situation in a tight hard turn where the paddle shirters were opposite (as the wheel was 180 degrees center)..
In moves where the wheel goes from 45-90 degrees, the shifters moving with the wheel works well.

I still brought a manual though.....

Info Screen Glare
I've had my TSX for a while now and on a sunny day the glare on my center dash info screen is getting a bit old. I am seriously considering removing the plastic protection screen to see if that helps. I know they make anti-glare film but not sure if that really helps.

I don't like the way the paint on the front of my 09 is starting to chip. Only 165 miles on it and have two chipped places. One is pretty big. A lady in my office had a new 05 or 06 and her complaint was about the front paint chipping. Yes, I do some driving on I66 but mostly it is city. My question, is anyone else seeing this on their TSX?

What are typical costs for a clear bra? I've never heard of it until recently, but could be interested in one when I get my TSX. I've had my current car for almost 5 years and I haven't had any problems, so not sure if it would be worth it for me. Depends on costs, I suppose. I assume they are 'clear' and not too noticeable?

The dealer sells an OEM similar product for the rear trunk step, ands its basically a clear bra that sits on the "Step" of the rear bumper to prevent cargo scratching the bumper.

Well, I now have my 2009 TSX in hand and so far....the only two things I am not thrilled about is:
1. I wish it had Sirius ready instead of XM....(although Iknow some conversion kits exists for that)
2. Girls now look at my car more than look at me.....I might have go to extreme measures to win back the attention...such as:

patcracks...I had called Sirius and they were the one who told me about a 'translator' which be be found on google although I haven't persued it too far yet as I didn't have the car. Since I have XM for free for 3 months, I'll give them a chance and if they are not up to par, I'll have to take the necessary steps. In Canada, the Sirius/XM merger is not as imminent or even a done deal. In the audio section (here on this forum), someone put a step by step to do it yourself and apparently, its easy and pretty good....

not to mention its nice to get the steering to actually turn at low speed without breaking into a sweat....

I got the all season floor mats. I have a manual and when I press the clutch pedal down all the way it gets caught on the mat. The elongated part at the top is not long enough. That is one of my main frustrations.. that and the scratch/dent on my hood from a rock on the freeway

What voice are you referring to?
