lmao, if you've ever driven a CAR, that would be common knowledge.
in some cars you actually pull the lever and it switches the high beams on, or off. my Avenger used to be like that

when i used to smoke in my old car, i'd just roll down the window and smoke will blow out unless youre sittin still,
but scions blow ashes to my face!! haha onlyway for the smoke to go out of the car is if you have your sunroof open and going faster than 35mph, if not, ashes will blow right back in~

A lot of luxury cars do that
Im confused what?...The wheels move when your door does?
they're talking about wanting the steering wheel to move up when the door is opened to make for easier entry/exiting from the car.

Man, my username is so cheesy. Seemed fun 2 years ago haha.

I think he hates it himself. If you don't like the car, just don't buy, simple as that.

That's what I tell people :D Now if they decide not to listen to me and buy the car anyway, they have only themselves to blame

For the panic to go you need to hold the button, not just press it.

Haha, nah I don't hate the car, I love it. By the mose hated car, I meant in the 'tuner world'. I can't say it for anywhere else, but over here, I've been subject to some taunts by the ever so almighty honda, mitsu, suby heads.

I have always wondered if there was something wrong with my car because the sunroof didn't go all the way back with 1 button touch.

Also I am 6'2" and I have the same problem in my car with my legs being too long and arms too short. I really wish there would have been a telescoping steering wheel option when I bought it. Anybody know of an aftermarket mod for telescoping steering wheels?

I found the tire pressure sensor set button ('07) in my glovebox about 4 months into ownership. I found out at the dealer that the panoramic sunroof is a glorified split sunroof and that the back one doesnt even open. Oh, and the manual adjustable seat that tilts and whatnot, didn't figure that one out completely for a month or so.

Did anybody else try to turn off their passenger airbag by pressing what looks like an on/off button but is really just an indicator?

Found out that my rear hatch rattles. FIXED
Found the iPod Cable to Stock HU is glitchy on song changes.
Awesome Secret Compartments. Still finding more daily.
-Also there are TONS of places to add new hiding spots. Like my old 89 Integra.
Suspension is not that bad at all. For stock it defenetly beats out a Honda.
Power Gain is a bit too off the wall. First - Second Great. Third slow. Fourth - Fifth Catch Up.
Rev Limiter should be thrown out. Later Mods

More to come. Only have had it for 2 days.

And I love it.

if you take out the center console, like you would do to change the stereo, I believe you can just unplug it and it won't work at all

Nah, I just thought it was funny that there was a button to turn it off. Like, "hey I dont like you, you're not worth wasting my airbag on *turn off airbag*". So then I tried to press it and it wasn't a button and I felt stupid

Haha, on a tC there is no reason to have an on off switch because there is a backseat, actually the on off switch is in a sensor in the bottom of the seat. 5 lbs will set it off. However on my moms S10, there is no backseat so if you must have a child in the front seat or in a baby car seat, then you can turn off the airbag so it doesn't kill the child.
