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?)

Replying to: draz2 (May 19, 2009 8:18 am) get the RL it will fulfill your needs.

Replying to: draz2 (May 19, 2009 8:18 am) Draz, of all the ones you list, my order would be C, B, D, A, with the last 2 way down the list.

Replying to: draz2 (May 19, 2009 8:18 am) I'd vote for "none of the above," because of the law of diminishing returns in terms of cost-to-own. Luxury cars are fast becoming so complex that many are money pits once the warranty expires. This depresses residual values, because second owners can't afford to maintain them, not to mention third owners.   I think the money spent on superfluous features would be better spent on bullet proof quality.

Replying to: draz2 (May 19, 2009 8:18 am) A. It has a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, who cares if it is electronically controlled.   B. I've had rain sensing wipers since October 2002. They are great if you hit a sudden thunder shower or get an unexpected road splash from a passing truck, but they are annoying as hell when they go off for no good reason, windshield washer spray from some other vehicle on the road, in a car wash. Nice feature to impress your friends, but one that most can live without and not notice.   C. Probably really nice if you live in Arizona, otherwise this is not in the same ballpark as heated seats. A do-dad.   D. Another do-dad.   There isn't anything compelling on this list unless you live in Arizona, cooled seats, or Seattle, rain-sense wipers.

Replying to: cebteb (May 27, 2009 6:19 pm) Never had a car with Rain sensing wipers, thanks for the insight on that.   Cooled seats- I test drove the GS350 several times last summer and found them quite useful.   Electronic tilt wheel- I had them on my 99 Millennia but honestly, I dont miss them.
#1416 of 1532 Stop "ok" on nav from coming up at start-up?? by neiman May 29, 2009 (1:01 pm)
Does anyone know if you can prevent the Nav on 2009 TL from prompting you to enter OK everytime you start up the car? It is starting to get annoying.   Thanks in advance for your assistance.
