Default absence of the ignition key light

... but then even the clock wasn't standard back pre-2001 model

this is a minor hassle at night i can't see where is the ignition slot and keep trying to slot the key in end up with heaps of scratches

my 04 rsx type-s has this so can't help wondering why honda didn't equip their flagship model too

The little dot ---> . is called a period. Use it to separate your sentances.

Sounds like you need vitamin A to help with your night vision problem.

Only time I ever have issues is getting into a car I have not driven before.

Second nature putting the key into the ignition, don't even look. Know where it is like I know where the pedals are!

Sounds like you don't drive your car enough to me...

None of my cars even have key scratch marks around the locks on the doors. I approach my cars all the time in the pitch black and get the key in every time first try with no lights or assistance. Same thing goes for the ignition.

I put my index finger across the top of the key. I find the hole with my finger tip and just slip it in. No scratching required.

It's fun to watch the car light up when you rotate it anyways, instead of having a key light.
