I really am intersted in getting a 2000+ SSEi next spring, and was wondering about a few things...

1) Do the newer ones have power lumbar, bolsters, and recliners?

2) What info is available in the driver'* info center? Does this include fuel mileage and DTE information?

3) How good is the Magnasteer system and variable assist? I ask this because my '95 has very heavy steering even with the variable assist.

Also could someone link me or possibly post some good photo'* of all the little dash buttons and toys, instrument cluster, that type of stuff. I'm a picky buyer and wanna make sure the newer Bonnie'* will suit my needs and wants. I'd go look at one myself but haven't seen any around for sale used.

TIA

the SSEi for the 2000+ dosent have as many features on the DIC
the newer SSEi'* only have a 6 way? power drivers and passengers seat and u can have heat
the magnasteer has 3 settings that can be changed by the Tech 2

My seats have powerlumbar, heated, and are 12 way including 2 memory settings and and an exit setting.

Information in the DTC includes.

Instant MPG
Average MPG
Fuel Range in miles
Oil Life
Tire Pressure
Warnings (doors ajar, systems problems, etc....)
probably some more I forgot

Magnasteer works great, but I prefer it in the firm mode which can be set at any dealer with a tech-2

Stabilitrak system with magnasteer, Bose, seats for the 12 way on the driver and passenger sides instead of in the middle, memory driver seats, opt heated seats, rear door speakers, side impacted airbags, HUD has the radio controls as well as the speedo, turn sig, brights, etc. MPG gages and all those other DIC fancy gauges, sexier looks

another nice feature of the 2000+ is that if there'* a problem the car tells you. Like if the Service Engine Soon light comes on, the Driver Information Center will tell you what'* wrong with the car. For example, "Check Gas Cap," etc. It also displays the error code afterward.
