For me, it has to be the HID lights and the back-up camera. The HIDs on the 3G TL just look great both for visibility and appearance.

Not to knock on the 4G TL but I cannot honestly tell it has HIDs from a distance or it's just not as "exotic" looking. :shrugs:

Oh, and how can I forget the 6MT is another favorite "feature!"

Memory seats for me. I love the fact if anyone touches/adjust my seats or mirrors I can reset it back to my settings.

Everytime I take it to the dealer it gets disabled and the memory seems to be gone.
How do that do that?

Really? I wasn't aware of that. I got my car not too long ago, haven't been to a service yet. Ugh, that sucks. Perhaps they reset something per service?

they must be unlinking your keys....
even if you pull the battery out of the car and then put it back in, memory seats are retained.

stop going to the dealer

I love how the door automatically closes on my leg. HAHA

Just kidding I really do love everything about my car but the style and lines of the exterior I think might be my favorite.

LED tails and Bi Xenon headlights. Those were pretty cutting edge in 2004, and keep the TL looking good 8 years later.

and then the 6 speed manual.

Side/rear profile and and the gauges. I think the front end could be a bit more agressive looking, features inside are nice but my last Chevy had more bells and whistles so it does't feel like an outright luxury car to me or anything. Headlights would be perfect if they had clear lenses from the factory like the TSX did, a lot of people, including myself have used TSX lenses for retrofits of 2.5" projectors, the cutoff is insane.

I also like that it looks worlds better than the newer ones, I kinda go WTF everytime I see a 4G, so it's aging pretty well.

Ha I love that too. It makes me look like a boss when I hop out of my car and the door closes itself.

I'd have to say the exhaust of my Type-S and how solid the car feels. Oh yea that 6-spd transforms the car as well.

Besides the beautiful exterior, one of my favorite features is the great adjustability of the driver seat. I like how much it can recline and tilt backwards. Makes it almost feel like a bed and makes my naps so much better during my lunch at work.

Def a feature Acura should advertise! "Never have to second guess if you have closed your doors or not!". But seriously, this happens to me ALL the time even when I am confident I open it wide enough to not close but still does with the slightest wind.

VTEC like a boss! I also dig the downshifting of the auto trans while braking. It feels like a true sports car... Coming for a guy with a TT Z32

funny. You are right there are plenty of bad things about this car too...

Like:
the door hinges rest at either too wide open or too closed.. It needs to rest at the spot right inbetween the nudges.

And, the homelink remote control has a nagging delay. Like you press the button and it waits a second or 2 before it sends the signal to your garage or the gate. You know what I do? I start pressing early before I get to the gate so I dont have to sit there and wait on the ef'n thing.

I wonder how big the list would be if someone started a list of "things you hate about the TL".. haha People are not open minded enough to deal with the truth. Maybe I should do that to see how much I can piss everyone off? haha but just to be fair I would list everything that I DO like..
