Coming from the BMW world I'm feel a little lost not having a tool kit in the car. Does anyone here carry on with them with just basics like a screw driver, wrench, etc? If so, what do you carry? Has Honda or Acura ever included/offered a tool kit with their cars?
Thanks

I liked having the tool kit in my BMW, but unfortunately, Acura doesn't provide one. I do keep a small kit in the two TLs I've had since. Nothing extreme, but a couple screwdrivers, small socket set, tire patch kit & small air compressor. That should handle the basic things if you get stuck, including flats/punctures.

I'm planning on adding the trunk drawer to keep all the items in one place and not rolling around the trunk.

It's an Acura, we don't need no stinkin' tool kit....

Seriously, just some basics (jumper cables, etc.) and a 12V mini-compressor.

Cell phone. Acura Roadside Assistance and Farmer's Roadside (which is fantastic) speed dialed in.

Tool kit and first aid kit may be in the BMW as I think (not positive) they are required equipment by law in some European countries so they include them in all their cars.

Yeah, that additional $40 is killer.
I would have gladly paid another $2K to have gotten features that came with all of my past Audis, such as the sunroof wind deflectors, easier-to-control sunroof controls, center sunshade, folding rear seats, ability to control which vents the A/C uses while otherwise on "Auto" temp setting, flat trunk floor, lots of space in the glove box and under-seat drawers, headlight washers, etc. And less annoying head rests.

On the other hand, I also would have gladly paid more than my Audis cost to get Honda reliability and the TL's speed. And I like the rear view mirror.

But either way, the cost of these individual features don't compare to the base cost of the cars.
