My AC gets really cold, like R12 cold.

My complaints about the car aren't really about the car but how I use it specifically.

I don't like the seats without a memory trigger for the recline. I have promo material I haul around so I have to fold the seats forward multiple times a day to get to the stuff I stash in back and the fact that they don't return to the position they were in just pisses me off. Oh well.

If I have something plugged into the 12v outlet I can't have the cup/holder/tray in the forward most position rendering it almost useless (radar detector with mute button on 12v plug).


What I really like

1: HD radio.. holy crap that's awesome. Everything's so clear!
2: Quiet Cabin. Seriously I've owned Hondas most my life and they're not known for quiet cabins.. previous car 1996 prelude, before that 2002 S2000... So yeah. It's nice to have a "quiet chat" while doing 70mph.
3: Low end TQ enough for driveability.
4: The "rear bumper applique". Seriously, I did not want this but the dealership forgot to not put it on so they made up for in another way but getting in and out of the trunk 6 times a day or more, the applique has already been "used" to protect the bumper, so yeah, glad that's there.
5: Parking brake DRL feature. I like how the parking brake deactivates the DRL's. I like having DRL's but if I'm sitting in the car with it running and it's in a parking stall facing a window'd restaurant it's nice to not have the lights in the faces of the patrons still inside.

And 6: The M.C. Echer effect... Standing outside of the car it seems so small but when I'm in the car it just feels so damn big and I'm 6' tall!
