[HUK] Improvements for the next model year

Pottsy · 28th May 2006, 08:34

Not faults, but irritations that would be nice fixed for the next MY:

AUX in
The Jazz has somewhere for your mp3 player - why not the Civic?

Manual dash brightness
A light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness would be nice.

Window off switch
Should leave the windows controllable by the driver.

Windows up with key fob button press
Just like the VAG cars.

Electric mirrors
Option to have them move in and out with the door locks.

Bassworks
Should be adjustable by the owner.

Any others?

Mark996 · 28th May 2006, 10:17

Simple -

AUX IN port on the front of the stereo or in the glovebox!!!!

Kpow99 · 28th May 2006, 13:21

Auto Lights On
Lights to come on when the Wipers are in auto mode after 4/5 wipes.

Quick Indicate extended
Extend to 4/5 flashes, 3 flashes too short to change lane properly

Door Super Locks
One press of fob to Super Lock doors, second press not to set alarm so windows can be stay open (for pets)

Auto Lock Doors
Doors to lock when you drive away (Mini)

Front Airbag
Switchable front airbag if you need child in front (My Pug has a key hole that can only be turned with the car key)

Hartside · 28th May 2006, 13:55

Windscreen wipers automatically work with washers
If stationary the Auto wipers don't work with the screen wash (on mine anyway!)

Kpow99 · 28th May 2006, 14:00

Funny, mine do, bit long squirt than on other cars iv'e had but the wipers do work.

I'll try again later

Why do you want the doors to lock - do you expect to get carjacked?

Kpow99 · 28th May 2006, 16:20

Mate, I live in London and the number of people I know who have had stuff taken from back seat etc while at traffic lights is remarkable. Not so long ago a lady was carjacked 500 yards from my house, and I live in a posh (I like to think so) part of Epsom Downs. Don't joke, it's a good idea, BMW thinks so.

That reminds me, just off to Tooting now so next years model.......bullet proof windows

Erk!

Jeffao · 28th May 2006, 22:33

Audible confirmation blip when central locking remotely applied & folding key (flick knife style) as per Mazda range would be nice

Topcat · 28th May 2006, 22:57

One push on the fob to open driver's door only, second push to open all the doors (ford focus - first model) it was an excellent safety feature.

StGeli · 29th May 2006, 19:40

I'd like to have the display screen from an EX available without the need for Sat Nav. The LCD one isn't a great when you can only see the first twenty or so characters of a track (without pressing buttons). It would also allow for a rear camera.

RiP · 30th May 2006, 22:11

Couple of things I think Honda could learn from my old Alfa 147:

Electronics "active" for a few seconds after turning off the ignition
Lots of functions remain active for a few seconds (30?) after removing the key, so you can pull up windows, open the boot, switch the stereo back on (which stays on, so you can run off with the keys but keep the wife happy with a bit of Robbie Williams 'til you get back), etc. In particular, I'd love the retracting wingmirrors on my EX to continue retracting after I've shut down... it's only a couple of seonds, but it's annoying. This feature also allows the Alfa to offer...

"See you home" headights
Headlights turn off when you turn the ignition off, but pulling the light stalk towards you (ie flash full-beam) brings them back on temporarily, for 30 seconds per pull. Great for letting me see my way from my driveway to my door without treading on all the snails that lurk out there...

NON ROTATIONAL GEAR KNOB!!!!

How about a gear knob that doesn't need tightening up, post sale!

Nick · 31st May 2006, 00:21

how about a panoramic glass roof that opens!?!?

jme1978 · 31st May 2006, 00:24

Warp drive please - people are sooo dissapointed when they find out its not actually a space ship. So embarrasing.

Come on Honda - pull ya finger out!!

Mark - just keep turning it till it's tight! It won't break (he says....)

Give it a go today, while the weather is so poor (worst morning I've seen in Faro in ages - what's going on?)

Mark996 · 31st May 2006, 12:57

:P :P It was a dodgy start to the day, but now there ain't a cloud in the sky!!!

My car reckons that it's 28 degrees outside - 16 inside naturally!!!

I wonder how accurate that outside temp reading is???

richierich · 31st May 2006, 13:00

Scrolling dot matrix screen that says "I know, thats why I bought it" that you could flash on when people are looking at the car admiringly.

Fedorov · 15th June 2006, 19:26

Honda definitely want this on the next model!!!

A door handle capping that you can rest your elbow on and that won't be a git to clean... Cloth is not the best!
