interesting facts: little stuff.

i just found out that the interior dome light is powered at 50% if only the rear hatch is open and goes full power when any other door is opened along with the hatch.

close any passenger but leave the hatch open and interior dome light goes back to 50% power.

any other cool little things you guys find yet ?

The front little side windows are perfect for putting parking permits in because they're slanted towards the outside so people can see your permit easier.

also does this on keyless entry. when you unlock 50%
then open 100%

i also like the little copartment on the pass side in the back.
i put my emergency kit in it. fits perfectly.
also used the under seat storage for the owners manual. fits perfect
also.

i found it strange the only keyhole used from the outside is the drivers door and inside is the ignition.

i don't know if anyone else has it but my light dims after a while to about 50% i guess, but if you tap on the car like on the dash or something the light will go back to full power. maybe its just the karr alarm system that i have but anyone else have this?

it is in the back. when you open the hatch look in
on the right hand side just under where the deck lid
would go. there is like a shelf there.
i will take pics of everything this weekend anyway.
getting the car tinted.

I like that after you turn the ignition off, you can still operate the windows for 10 minutes. (as long as you don't open the door)

The other day I was on a drive and I noticed a little dust on the display in the headunit. Well, I used my finger to wipe it off, touching both the plastic bezel and the plastic surround. The static electricity produced made the display sorta freak out, and me too ;-)

It eventually faded out. Whew.

Anyone notice the nicely finished rubber sleeve on your parking brake? Even my RSX's was plastic. This one feels like the nice leather on the seats of my 08 Accord Coupe - soft and grippy. Plus it matches the grippy rubber of my shifter.

Very thoughtful, Honda!

When I picked mine up I had to show my salesman that one, he said they didn't recline.
