is there anything you hate about your tl?

The OEM tires
The 12V outlets are concealed
The Christmas light window lock-out logic (One goes out, they all go out)
The HID hill issue
The MID Trip display issue
Phone dialing voice recognition
Steering wheel audio control logic - especially the mode function (gives new meaning to the phrase 'going around the horn')
The no-flash marker lights
The OEM fog light intensity
3 digit trip odometer (it rolls over at 999.9)
No height adjustment on the right seat
The rough start mode for emissions purposes ("burp, cough, gag, vroom"
Does anybody else want to be able to put the car in neutral in SS mode? When sitting at a light, I'd really like to be able to do that.

Things I am annoyed by (don't hate anything):
1. The aluminum "wings" on the Acura grille.
2. The just-a-little-too-thick aluiminum upper-lip on the top of the grille.
3. The black goop in my pretty exhaust tips after only one hour of use.
4. The inevitable scratch on the driver's alloy wheel rim from the car wash.
5. The small, Japanese man that utilized the Grand Canyon as his design inspiration for the upper dashboard. Not only are there 2 seperate layers with 4 large curvy 'grooves' to collect dust, but the honeycomb embossing makes it nearly impossible to get all the specks out of there.
6. The fact that the steering wheel's backlighting illuminates just the words on the steering wheel's buttons but the window's buttons don't (large rectangle).
7. The non-Honda standard hi-beam control (push forward instead of back).
8. The non-Honda standard headlight control (stick up/down instead of stalk twist knob).
9. The lack of a suitable and accessible cellphone rest area. The pop-open compartments on the console break the smooth look, the sliding door above the cup holders is not deep enough, and the cupholders themselves let it slide around.
10. The removal of the eyeglass holder from the upper (behind the moonroof controls) console and the ridiculous placement in the doors (like I want my $300 RayBan's getting banged four times a day when I enter/exit the car).

I wish the fog lights were lower, like in my old Type S
I wish there was a pass through for the cell phone chord in the center console.
I wish I had key with the transmitter built in like the honda accord.
I wish the turning radius was better than it is.
Other than that, the car is perfect. Wonderful. Beyond compare, even to the G35!!!!

Here's one you guys haven't mentioned:
- No automatic A/C compressor shutoff during high acceleration. I don't like having to kill the A/C when some contender wants to see what my car can do.

Three Wheelin'
OK, I read this thread a long time ago, so I apologize if this one was mentioned already...the fact that the gauges don't adjust with the tilt steering.
For me, the best driving position is with the seat fairly far back, fairly high, and with the steering wheel fairly low on the tilt and about halfway out on the telescope.
This is the way I've drive all my cars, and they've all had the same problem as the TL - in that position, the wheel obscures part of the gauges.
Oh, well, a minor complaint. I also agree with bolt that the door pocket sunglass holders are a poor afterthought.
