List things that you wish you had on your 4G

I'm still getting used to my new car, and one thing I've noticed is that it doesn't have the Light on the actual door. Also, would love to have Cooling seats.

Over all the car is amazing!

You made me go outside and look lol okay i see the light but its facing down. Thought, the whole purpose of the door light is to let the incoming cars to see if the door is open.

alot of things can be add or missed....

from 3G to 4G... there is only one thing i miss (besides a solid 29-30mpg HWY)

i absolutely love have a steptronic control on the shifter. i think paddle shifters are so damn lame....

UA6 - Steptronic only
UA7 - Steptronic & paddle
UA9 - only paddle


it does, however, discourage me from driving like an asshole. in my type-s, i would take off at every single red light in manual shift mode... with the 4G, i just cruise

I definitely miss the mpg's I use to get. I drive with the average mpg on the info display and try to keep it at 20. Ive gotten it to 22 but that was a lot of highway driving. I drive like a grandma now lol.

  • Tiltable head restraints. The stock ones hurt me.
  • Folding rear seats (or larger pass-thru)
  • Interval turn signals (tap it, it blinks several times and stops)
  • AWD engaged at start from stop (software fix)
  • Voice search of tracks/artists on the iPod
  • ANY search of tracks/artists on the iPod (e.g. let me first choose a letter to filter by)
  • Easier sun/moonroof control to partially tilt.
  • Quieter sun/moonroof. (Audis, BMWs, etc have a little plastic spoiler that pops up. This car doesn't seem to.)
  • Sun visor over the rear view mirror
  • Flocked (quieter) door and sunglasses pockets

It's a pretty cool car. They got most of the big things right. Other than the first item on my list, these are all small things. (And the first item is a cheap thing, but one that is a "big deal". )

Definitely A/C seats like the RL. I gave serious consideration to the RL but, it just didn't make sense compared to the TL, given it's dated technology.
I'll look at the RL in a year or two when it's updated and I need new wheels.

Voice control is ok for me when driving but I would like to see a return to an updated touch-screen navi screen so my co-pilot can dial stuff in.

The change purse in my 2006 TL was pretty cool. Why did we lose it?

Brembo brakes would be nice. Had them on my '06, they are missed on my 2010 sh-awd, six-speed manual, tech package guy.

Outside of that, I'm pretty satisfied. For now.

Being in Seattle, rain-sensing wipers would be nice.
