Some things from previous vehicles I own that I wish my TL-S had. Sorry, but im gonna list more than just one :-)

My C6 Corvette has the keyless go entry and push button start. I know a lot of newer cars have this now but I really wish the TL did its so easy and convenient to never touch your keys. I also liked the power telescopic steering column with easy exit feature.

My 08 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 had autoleveling HID's, rain sensing wipers (that actually worked amazingly), and a nav with built in hard drive with USB connectivity. Adding songs was sooooo easy and quick.

So to sum it up this is what I wish my TL-S had that I LOVED on previous vehicles of mine:
-Keyless go with pushbutton start
-Autoleveling HID headlights
-Automatic rain sensing wipers
-Hard drive nav with USB
-Heated steering wheel (like the Maximas)
-Air conditioned seats
-Power telescopic steering with easy exit (seat moves back and steering wheel in and up)

Unfortunately if I want ALL of this in a vehicle Acura isnt gonna be the one as they dont offer all that. Lexus and Mercedes are a couple that do.

lol i wish the TL could play dvds without having to do all that stuff. like it just came like that. now that'd be tight.

and the windows up feature just like the windows down thing with the remote. wish it'd go up without having to buy it and do that stuff

lol those are just some small things im working on and thought it should just be automatically there

I wouldn't mind having the real time Nav weather, like the 4G's or a HUD.

I was going to mention A/C seats - but since that's already been mentioned something else that I think would be cool if our TL's had would be the dynamic headlights (like bimmers) they move in the direction that you're steering in.....Lexus has this and so does Audi.....come on Acura

If I had to add one feature to the TL, it would be memory power telescopic steering wheel. I feel like Acura missed out on that.

1. the multiple way adjustable steering wheel would be nice but i think adjustable pedals would be of more benefit to be since i have short legs......sitting close to the steering wheel = u get screwed in an accident if you don't drive with the seat in a slightly reclined position.....been there and done that in a previous car airbag compacted my chest and it was not pretty.........

I would have liked it if they offered a namebrand sound system. Such as Infiniti, Bose, or Rockford Fosgate.

+1 for the folding rear seat.

And...cooling cup holders.

the Navi cursor sucks! Most of the ones I was thinking have mentioned like heated steering wheel, cooled seats, more power, AWD, better stock suspension, auto retractable mirrors but I still LOVE my car.

I wish the 04-06 TL came with a little bit more power, maybe like 290HP and the TL-S with like 320HP.

Yes I know that power is garbage through the front wheels but still, I wish lol

The ventilated seats are an awesome idea! That's probably number one on my list. A 6-speed auto would be great as well.

Keyless Entry with Push Button to start to car. Most cars in its class have this option.

I just wished for the 4G TL it was going to be a very similar design to the 3G, but with more HP, and better options/upgrades to the interior. Even the 3G TL with full A SPEC as a 4G TL with 300+ HP RWD would bring them 600% more sales than the current TL.

Yeah now. But the 3G came out in 2003, when hardly any cars had it, only the very high end ones like the BMW 750.

If we're talking about a 3G, then I'd add a 6-speed auto. If we're talking about a 4G, I'd want a completely different body.

In order by preference:

1. RWD
2. Folding rear back seat
3. Aux jack for radio
4. Rain-sensing wipers
5. Auto-on headlights

Definitely those first three, in that order! The last two i can do without.


Quick Reply: If you could add one feature to the TL, what would it be?
