Replying to: Chasboy (May 04, 2009 11:30 am) Got the tires all to 33-34 psi (cold), and it definitely made a difference as for the "steering wander" off center. It's better, but still feels as the car lacks this center stability at high speeds (70-80), and keeps wondering to either side at times. Of course, it could be a road condition, but when you switch from one car to another and use the same route, you feel it. By the way, I compare the TL to the Siena van.   Anybody with the same experience? Replies to this message: Chasboy (May 07, 2009 10:06 am) kominsky (May 07, 2009 12:44 pm)

Replying to: cvv011 (May 07, 2009 9:36 am) cvv, so which car are we insulting here? My TL is dead solid like on rails at any speed. Of course the Sienna is a great vehicle, and should also be steady. It seems like at different times, one tire or another on the TL is 1 lb. off. I notice nothing at all. If you truly feel something, go back to the dealer while it's still fresh. Could even be a sticky caliper, but then you said it got better when you evened out the pressure....

Replying to: cvv011 (May 07, 2009 9:36 am) Sounds like the car is tram-lining. When you have wide, low profile tires, imperfections in the road tend catch the tire and move the car around. Higher profile tires with a larger sidewall (like a Siena, for instance) tend not to do it as much since the sidewalls are more flexible and "bend" to the imperfection. FWIW, my 330Ci with 245/40 rubber is much more susceptible to this than my wifes Odyssey.   I've put ~150K miles on my car and I'm on my seventh set of tires... several different models from a few different manufacturers. Some tires have suffered from tramlining much worse than others. They've all been the same size, so tread pattern and/or sidewall stiffness come into play.   edit:   I just found this link that explains tramlining better than I ever could...   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=47

Replying to: go_mdx1 (May 05, 2009 5:53 pm) I agree.. the weather map option is not big deal.. cool to look at but not pay for. The cooled seats would be awesome. I traded in my 06 Lexus GS for my TL and I miss those a/c vented seats now that Miami is hitting 90 degrees and sunny, daily!
#1408 of 1532 2009 TL Headlights by cebteb May 16, 2009 (8:12 pm)
Would like confirmation or refutation regarding the headlights on the 2009 TL. I understand that the 2009 Acura TL doesn't offer in either model or with any package or option, an automatic headlight feature (i.e., the headlights can be set to go on automatically based on the input from a photocell when ambient light drops below a certain level. Is this true? This would be really disappointing as I've had automatic headlights on my American-made new cars since 1999.   I also understand that there isn't an option for Xenon headlights. Is this true? Not that big a deal, but most cars in this class offer them as the future standard auto headlight. Replies to this message: Chasboy (May 16, 2009 8:31 pm)

Replying to: cebteb (May 16, 2009 8:12 pm) cebteb, the lights go on automatically. You can chose the setting. The light is also very white, whether Xenon, I don't know. The lighting is ample.
#1410 of 1532 Missing Feature Wish List Poll by draz2 May 19, 2009 (8:18 am)
While we all know the TL is an awesome vehicle (and an absolute steal for the money), it's not perfect. Of the following "missing features" how would you rank their desireability?   A - Electronically controlled tilt/telescope steering column. B - Rain sensing wipers C - Cooled front seats D - Electric rear window sunshade   My order is pretty much as above. (Any "missing feature" ommissions I've forgotten about?)
