a few weeks ago, my friend who also has a TL-S auto showed me that when he starts the car, all he has to do is put the key in, turn it and let go really quick then the engline will start up. i found that strange but amazing

then i tried it do the same thing with my 6pd but it doesnt work like that and i have to crank and wait till the engine's started before i let go. anyone know why is that? or am i asking an obvious question?

 

its a feature they added on the 07+ cars.

 

I think I know what u are talkin about..First you gotta engage the clutch, then put the key in ignition, and turn the car on real quick and let go..I guess u can say it works..but u still gotta give it a sec or two to fire up the engine.. I do that sometimes too, but not purposely. I feel bad sometimes tho because its kinda harsh on the ignition and my switchblade key.

 

ohhh jk i didnt notice that you have an 08 i saw 04 UA6 and thought you had an 04...

 

is your's auto or 6spd?

cause my friend doesnt even give it a sec or 2. it's more like half of a second

 

6spd like yours..I understand that the auto dont gotta wait cause its an auto..but u know, manual is totally diffrent cuz u gotta engage clutch first..so it usually takes a sec longer.

 

its only for auto's. safety precaution for manuals

 

damn, i have a 6MT, but for some strange reason i wanna go to the dealer just to start up one of these 07+ AT's. id still rather have my 6MT tho..

 

who buys a TL-S AT?!?!?!?!
They should come MT ONLY!

 

^ I would, I can't drive a 6MT well, and the traffic I drive though would kill my left leg, clutch in, clutch out, clutch in out, every 6 inches of movement.

 

it just takes practice, my mom taught me on a hill when I was 15 hahaha, she is crazy! I do agree that a MT does suck to drive in traffic tho - my TL is auto but I have an accord that it MT, if I know I will be in traffic or in the city I will not drive the accord!

 

Who will volunteer to school Csmeance on how to drive a manual? He needs to know!!!!

Just kidding Csmeance. You are still ok in my book!

 

WHO BUYS A 2005 AM TL IN AUTO!!!!!!!!! hhahaha kidding, kidding.

 

^ whatev, we are not talking now!
HATER

 

I can drive a MT, I'm not just that great with it, just a bit jerky at times... Mind you I learned to drive MT in india, I drove an MT here 1 or two times, but not in the last year or so...

 

haha thats hella drama.
your car's nice BTW

 

nah, no drama here, we're friend's, it's just a joke, and thanks on the car compliment

 

Yep, I just start to turn the key and let it go on my 08 TL-S. Starts right up and saves the starter. Nice feature.

 

old people like me who have something faster and more exotic to drive like an idiot on my days off....

 

Touche....

 

ok, we would all like to see pics of your faster more exotic ride then!
