Mods: EV button.

Whines:
No light under hood.
No lights for hazard, ODO & radio buttons.
Fog lights are useless and can’t turn on without head lights.
Needs AC fan speed switch on steering wheel.

Shines:
Peace and serenity at a stop light with no engine vibes or noise.
No tranny up or down shift lurches.
Low emission, less money to oil barons.
Fun and games in trying to get the best mpg possible.
Smart key entry – I love getting people to try to open the locked door, then show my empty hands, walk up, say abbra cadabra, and open it.
Actually, there are too many to mention, this is by far the most awesome vehicle I have ever owned.
