If you could have some updates done on next year's model without significantly changing the price, what would it be.

I based my survey choices on suggestions in a previous thread. If the feature is not on the poll I can't add or modify so you'll want to start your own poll if you find something missing.

Sorry the first thread didn't work out with multiple choice. Hopefully this one will cover more of your dreams.

There is a remote start option already. It's just not a very good long range remote starter.

I thought I read that you had to take it to the dealership to get a mod done for that to work.

Yeah, if it didn't come with it from the factory.

It's $500, but still not worth it. Mine came with it, so I'm stuck with it. That, and the stupid tape on the rear bumper for $100.

It's there already, why would I remove it? Unless, you want to buy it off me.

Default Power folding mirrors

Hello,

I just posted all the suggestions in my other thread. I've never had power folding mirrors before.

Can someone tell me what the advantage of these is?

When you lock the door, the mirrors fold in so when people walk by you car, they went bump into them. Or you could press a button and have them fold in while you're maneuvering in a tight space.

Ahh - you are in CA too - that explains the tight parking spots. I'd rather have something that automatically slams my doors wide open after an idiot with a 2 door car opens their door with all the usual force as if it is their first time getting out of a car in a tight parking spot in LA.

lol. speaking of car doors. nothing makes me more mad than when there's an empty parking lot, and someone decides to park right next to you.

I have a real suggestion. Make the GPS system modular. The screen stays but something about the size of a cell phone could be the entire GPS system. Frankly the GPS on my phone is much easier to use and more direct. That way if I have my car more than 5 years I can easily replace the core of the GPS.

I have a 2001 Acura and there is nothing I could do to replace the GPS as it is built in and even though the screen is fine I really don't want a DVD driven slow GPS. I really hate the small screens on portable GPS units but they blow the doors off my GPS in other ways. If I could replace the brains of my GPS, I'd probably keep my Acura another 4 years. The GPS is EXTREMELY important to me.
