by the secret trunk handle do you guys mean the latch that keeps it shut? because i use that all the time and it works great

 

lol - no - look on the INSIDE of the trunk itself. there's a little handle on the opposite side of the license plate - seriously, go look right now -

 

you did not read it correctly! c'mon! i didnt say "i found" i said i just "found out"

big difference! but thats a great find! enjoy your car dude! oO and the middle cup holder can keep your coffee warm in the morning if your drive is long enough! hahaha

 

I'm sill looking for 238hp...

Or even 232...or even 225!! geesh.

 

No, there is an actual handle build into the inside of the trunk to easily close the trunk without touching the exterior. Take a look, you will see it if you actually look up there.

 

its not there. you can keep trying, but you wont find it...thats like looking for the infamous vtec button!

 

haha that is defiantly true, i left my phone in there once by accident on the interstate, well, 50 miles later i took it out and it was basically roasting.

 

I'm gonna go take a picture of it...brb

 

i lost half a bar of battery on my iphone when i left it in the cup holder lol. In less than an hour.

 

nice the little things are the best for sure

 

For the doubters

 

Nice on the trunk handle, never noticed that but I always used the latch itself and just pulled down on it quick enough to have it shut on its own softly without touching the outside.

The dealer actually showed me the hidden stash errr jack spot. That and the manual pretty much gives you heads up on the functionality of all of the button's features and so forth when you're bored enough to read into it.

 

Okay people, flame me you must but I don't think I have the second A/C outlet.

I looked in the center console and I don't see anything outside of my cup holders.

I have an '06 Sport.
Should I have the center console outlet?

 

It's there. Slide the cover on the console the whole way back, exposing the cup holders. Then lift the sliding cover up, it hinges on the passenger side of the console. There is a shallow tray back there, with an outlet against the back edge. There is even a groove so you can have the cable coming out when the top is closed.

 

you rock brother!!!!

Thanks man.

 

that bench works mirales at the drive in lol, did you guys know next to the handle in the trunk theres an emergency release button too lol like we can fit people in our trunks

 

I had a duh moment about a year into ownership. Someone was talking about the Sun glass holder...."Sun glass holder???" And there it was a flip down type, I never knew it was there.

 

lol. I read the owners manual 1 weeks before I pick up my 8. No one ever rtfm anymore?

I did noticed that on MT can not get into 5th or 6th gear if you are running idle just this morning. It's not much of use, but it's something I never knew u can't do.

 

I spent one week wondering why my headlamps were so fricking bright.

Turns out I clipped the fog lights switch when I first got into the car (this is my first car =x)

 

O another little thing about this car that is fun is tell your friends that you can turn the song on a cd just by putting your finger an inch above the button (While doing this turn it with the steering wheel controlls because they are staring at your other hand )

 

Watch out for the ejector seat button....

 

yeah i knew everything about my 8 about a week after i got it but then again all I did was drive around for that week haha!

 

i don't see how that handle behind the trunk allows you to close it without touching the exterior...you'd either slam your arms or it just go all the way down but not lock in..which in the end you'd still have to push the trunk down.

 

Use the handle to build momentum, then let go of trunk and wham, it explodes!!!!

 

I just found out it beeps when you hit redline. Just to make sure I made it do it again.
