MaxwellHammer Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Maxwell Silver Hammer arrived at my home (with me in it) at approximately 8 PM this evening. My head is spinning! Am loving it so far ... thankfully the woman who gave me a brief tech tutorial said, look ... here's Bluetooth ... talk ... forget about all the steering wheel, dashboard controls, etc. for now. I am leaving for the Adirondacks early tomorrow so I needed a quick start. This seems to work for me. Have navigation set up and am ready to go! My only disappointment is that I learned (per salesman ... not the best I've known) that the SEL 302A does not have remote start or, at least, what I thought was remote start ... I have keyless, push button start but cannot actually start the car without getting in and hitting the brake. Guess I was pretty stupid thinking that remote keyless entry meant remote start. Oh well, live and learn, I have my rear camera, glass roof and everything else so I will get over it :-) Grew a lot of leaves driving home ... think I'm catching on! Thanks to all of you and the info/advice you provide. Have download the manual and will begin my learning process .... I would post a picture but am, honestly, teched-out ...

MaxwellHammer Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks, zhackwyatt .. I obviously didn't know that at the time although I wish the salesman had explained that it was an after the fact add-on as he knew I had it on my current car and would want that on any future car. He did tell me when I picked it up that I could "now" have it added for around $300+. Needless to say, my salesman was the least helpful person during this buying process. However, sales manager, service and tech people were great. On a more positive note ... Maxwell did just fine on his first big trip to the camp (180 miles RT). Trip mileage, brand new, was 47.7 mpg. That was a combination of highway, city and mountainous rural roads. Was amazed I got such good mileage given that it had just 30 miles on it when I started the trip. Thanks to all the info you on this forum have provided me during my 7 week wait, I guess I was able to pick up right away on the correct way to drive this hybrid. It was an easy transition and a really enjoyable drive! This car truly is a computer on wheels and I'm loving every minute of it :happy feet: Edited June 2, 2013 by MaxwellHammer ScubaDadMiami and SnitGTS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
