I asked if it had a lifetime mileage gauge and he asked if I meant a trip meter. I said "um sure" and he said "No it doesn't have a trip meter"
He tried to get the idle stop to work but couldn't. He said that the 2004 and newer has the idle stop feature but the 2003 must not (he he).
Under the hood he shows me the bright orange wires that "go to the 2 motors, one for each wheel".
He told me that the "S" (sport) setting was for "Slow".

Auto salesmen can be so dumb
The guy I deal with is smart. He knows that he knows very little about the HCH. He also knows I know way more than he does about the car. He doesn't open his mouth unless he has access to all the sales materials so if I have a question so he can actually answer it properly.
