Cool TSX- If there was one thing you would change on the car what would it be?????

The TSX is a technological marvel which demonstrates automoative engineering at its best. From the outside, its sleek lines, sports stance and gorgious appeal, the TSX stands out from hte average cars around it. A look at the beast within, the sweet interior, refined and sporty, solid and comfortable and very appealing to those who stair at the car as it purrrs by a car on the freeway at 65MPH.........
The curious question I ask all you TSX lovers, although the car seems quite perfect in its form, is there anything you would wanna change on it that would make the car soooo much sweeter than it already is???????????????

I'd say the LED lighting on the inside should have been more present, they are just tooo cool to look at...........

1. Smoother throttle transition on and off versus abruptness it currently exhibits;
2. More torque, more torque, more torque! Can you say 6-banger?
3. Lighter weight, lighter weight; no reason for this car to weigh 32-3300 pounds;
4. Stock CD unit would have dynamic compression for those nasty-ass passages in certain music that are way too quiet to be audible, followed by a bombastic passage that blows the speakers out (since you turned them up to hear the quiet stuff);
5. Better bass presence in stock audio, without being accompanied by distortion;
6. Sacks of platinum, iridium, and uncut diamonds in trunk, for those rainy days;
7. Ability to haul more cabbages and a donkey in back;
8. Fewer glowing eyes peering out from dashboard, voices in head stay quiet;
9. Beans 'n franks smeared all over the dash for that country-livin' look;
10. Leather seats created wastefully from the hides of fifty cows by volunteer slaughterhouse workers recruited from the ranks of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals), who sing "Feelings" whilst they do their dirty work.

Yes, the shiny object swings to and fro, to and fro ...

Considering this is all I can come up with, this is one sweet car:

1. Wish the speed gauge had ever 10 MPH shown rather than 20 (it's harder to drive the on the 5’s (like 45, 55, etc.).

2. Wish the "auto set" on the Navi AM/FM only reset the screen you are on, and not FM1, FM2, and AM.

I've only had the car for 5 days, and the only thing that bugged me was I meticulously set up all my stations for FM1, then set up all my stations for AM, and then when I got to FM2, I figured I'd let the auto-set do it's thing... and to my dismay, it reset everything on FM1 and AM also.

Not true. Auto scan only is meant for use in an area you are not familiar with. Press it again to turn it off and your presets are back.

Auto locking/unlocking doors. The German cars we've had over the past few years all had them.

The ONE thing (per thread title) I could change would be to have more torque in the lower RPMs.

Definitely more power. I haven't received my TSX yet, but during my test drive I could definitely feel that there needed to be a little more umph in it.

i'm afraid if we got more HP, we'd lose something in the fun-to-drive factor...

i vote for blue-tooth/DVD-Audio&SACD setup, and make NAVI standard.

I'm still loving this car for the 6 days I've had it, so my nits are small. Most annoying so far is having to press "OK" button at the nag screen.

If I could only have one thing, it would be the addition of a factory supercharger.

1. eliminate not an ashtray, or at least don't make it bright red

2. memory seating

3. replace the urine yellow backlighting on window and other controls with either solid white, blue, or another color that looks better.

4. Lights for the garage door opener buttons, etc.

SWEET! Thanks for the tip... guess I should RTFM. After it blew away my stations, I was afraid to push it again... hehe Was wondering why it says "A.Scan" on the display at the top now...

That kills me!! My gf laughs at me as I fumble around in the dark for the right button...

But as long as we're I'd like 300 more HP and SH-AWD please.

Realistically?
1) IMA -adds lots more torque at the low end, little bit of HP, better gas mileage (Hey have my cake and eat it too! )
2) HID high beams (adaptive? aka RL style?)
3) Better color choices
4) Bit quieter inside-little less road noise (possibly noise canceling system?)


Honestly, IMA would answer most of the power concerns (yeah, there will always be those that 500hp, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds wouldn't be fast enough, but Darwin's law will hopefully take care of them) but IMA would give a lot of torque at the low end launch (which is where the TSX lacks), and a bit more HP at the upper end for a better top speed (really, anything over 140 mph is ), and, we'd be looking at high 20's MPG in the city, and high 30's cruisin' down the highway.

Just my

1. Auto locking doors.
2. Speed sensitive volume control on the radio. Our Mazda3 has it and it's a nice feature.
