All coupes have TPMS (I don't know about sedans). At least on the older ones, there isn't a menu for it. It just beeps and lights up when a tire is low.

^ either tire shop didn't mount your TPMS or you didn't calibrate them.

No, they don't show PSI in the tires, they only notify you when the tire slips under 32psi.

Only cars I have seen that have an accurate read out of pressure are the new Mercedes.

There is a kit you can buy that has valve caps that are transmitters and a receiver that goes inside the car and will give you a read out. They can be anywhere from $25 to $200.

x2 our TPMS only tells you when you have low tire pressure. Mine came on when I was 3psi low just like 4DGS said.

I've had my TPS in and out of 3 different sets of wheels and they still work without fail. When my tire pressure drops below 28 lbs it shows on my dash and makes a screeching noise in the beginning. In our low profile tires you can't tell if you have forty lbs or fourteen in them by the way they look...

It looks like the TPMS wasn't added until 2004
