Is it not also true that the 5th generation has a lot more electrical devices? For example, the hydraulic power steering pump has been replaced with an electrical steering box at the base of the steering column. Honda should have hired Ken Mattingly to design the electrical system ! He saved those guys' lives. Starting this beast in cold weather gives me the same anxieties felt by the Apollo 13 fellows when they had to do their start up for re-entry. I now have had a few failures and needed to be boosted. If I have to replace the battery some day, I'll buy one that has a lot more cranking amps.

I suspect Honda put batteries in these cars that just barely meet the minimum required amps for starting - and that's in the warmer climates. When the climate controls are set to Auto and if you were running the fans at high speed before shutdown, they power up at high speed after a few engine cranks because the computer 'assumes' the car will start. I believe my friend's Civic or some other cars cancel the seat warmers when the car is shutdown because the switches aren't solid toggle types. As I recall, the seat warmers stay in the On position after you turn the car off and are still on when you start the car again.

I wonder why they wouldn't design the software to shut everything off when you turn the car off.
