Auto off lights

I think it's rather humorous that the auto headlamp off feature only applies to when the driver side door is open.

I had to grab a cd out of the player, so i quickly jumped in the passanger door turned the key and ejected the disc, went back inside and one hour later someone told me my lights were on.

Good thing it is a new battery or I would probably be jumpstarting it already.

I really like that feature, but have also had problems because of it in the past.

center console box - to use the upper tray, lift the console lid without touching the release lever

can someone explain this? with photos perhaps?

I'm getting my car in 2 weeks (at port right now) and I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about it =)

This revolutionary concept is what made me buy the car in the first place. Arm-rest enthusiasts accross the country will surely be excited about this groundbreaking technology.

Sliding Sun Roof

When I took my tc for a test drive...the guy told me that you had to hold the sun roof button down...but if you press it a lil more fwd it will slide all by itself... (thought someone might be able to use that info)
