What annoys you the most about your car?
Very broad. The right member could clog up this thread single-handedly. What is the ultimate in annoyance with your beloved car? Could it be the infamous door dings you discover from outings in town? Or the warm splat of bird poop on your freshly washed car? I believe Acurazine wants to know!

My '05 TL had a few things that drove me nuts.
Poor visibility, rattles, harsh ride and doors that would not stay open on the slightest incline.

Only thing that irks me about my TL is the driver side window rattle. When the window is partially open and I go over bumps or close the door the window rattles. I know something is wrong with that window as even when pulling the window up it makes an extra noise upon closing where as the other windows in the vehicle do not.
One day I will get to taking off the door panel to see whats up, I just hate dealing with removing plastics on these vehicles as I tend to break small hard to replace parts! argh

-Rattles in general
-Lack of ventilated seats
-Airbag outline on the dashboard
-Shitty speakers and subwoofer

There's not much that annoys me about my TL, but the closest thing is the design of the cowl or whatever you call it where the hood meets the windshield. Underneath the base of the driver-side wiper arm is a trap for debris that never rinses clear, so you have to pop the hood and clean the crap out with your fingers. I think Acura designed that piece in a hurry or late at night or something, because as thought out as the rest of the car is, that cowl a) traps the aforementioned dirt, and b) inadequately vents the engine bay, as other threads have detailed.

with aspec spoilers, I hate the flat spots where water/dirt accumulates on the side body spoilers and the rear trunk area. especially when getting out of the car and your pants get dirty from brushing against these areas.

Turning radius is annoying.
Lack of torque - fixed with turbo
Lack of navi - performed navi conversion
Rattles - fix as they arise. Try having 85a engine mounts.
Doors - Father owned old school Oldsmobile's during childhood. Learned how to deal with heavy doors.

the overexplainer
the dramatic difference in drivability with the a/c on in a 6MT. You get used to it I guess, but it sucks. Just like my 4 cyl integra, i thought the more massive/torquey (relative) 6 would handle the load better.

Rattles, rattles, and rattles.
I have been in many different cars including friends' cars, crappy work vans at work that everyone beats on, but my TL rattles more than all of them.
It's kind of rediculous for a car that cost $35k. I usually turn on the stereo but they can be still heard sometimes.

Doors
Hate the red turn signal lens in the tails and the yellow turn signal lens in the headlight. Makes switching bulbs to a white color a pain.
At high speed around 80mph here a annoying rattle.
No courtesy lights for the rear doors.
Rear windows are not one touch close.
No folding mirrors.
No telescoping steering wheel.
The chimes. Sounds like a 80's accord since Honda never changed its chimes. Wish it had the RL chimes or the new TL chimes.
Poor MPG.
Not sure what you guys mean by turning radius.

My two least favorite things about my car are the rattles (duh) and the biggest piece of crap, sloppy excuse for an automatic transmission. It really starves the car from performing the to its full potential. The TL has plenty of power for a sedan but you'd never guess it by the way its delivered. I'm really hoping changing the pressure switches will help out...maybe its just my car.
