Red face Stuff I've Noticed

I'm 450 miles in on my Anthracite / Ebony / 5AT / NAVI and I am enjoying the ride... a lot.




I thought it would be fun to share some of my observations/nits.

-Audio system sure impresses me! But, I sure wish random play on the CD/DVD changer could random play across all discs. I'm guessing that since it takes a few moments to change discs that random play like that would be impractical.

-XM is Xcellent. I'm going to subscribe for sure. Its too bad that there isn't a way to preview what is playing on other XM channels like the after market XM receivers can.

-What's with the door locks that stick up when they are locked? Guess its an Acura thing (this is my first Acura). :clown:

-Oh, and I guess its abnormal for a strange odor to emanate from the climate control system when bringing fresh air in from the outside?

-Oh, and my tires seem okay, the memory seat problem hasn't happened to me yet so things are pretty good.

With these nitpicks aside, this is a great car. Still so much to explore and experience!

Great review! The car is perfect, isn't it?

Great color choice! Enjoy!

Yes, especially the interior color. Your choice in colors cannot be beat!! Though, you might have been better off with a gaping head wound in the dash, rather than the navi screen. Just MHO, of course

These are exterior pics. I didn't take any interior ones yet.















If you have requests, let me know and I'll grab some new shots.

I probably will end up with a gaping head wound in ...well...my head from playing with the Navi while driving.

Nice color chice. Yesterday as a matter of fact I picked up my Anthrocite/Quartz w/Navi. I had a 02TL type s w/navi. I have to say that the improvements are astronomical. I love this car in every way. there are little things here and there, but overall this car is fantastic.

Thanks. I've had this car for two weeks, my previous ride being a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT Sedan. Big difference.

The Grand Am was good for what it was, but its exciting to enter an entirely new class of vehicle.

Wish this could get away after a few thousands of miles driving.
