If you squint, the roof antenna and rear spoiler can make the HCHII look like a shark!

One neat HCH2 feature is the programmable door locks. We've rigged ours so all the doors automatically lock when the car reaches ~9 mph and the driver's door automatically unlocks when the ignition is turned off.

There are other lock/unlock options. Check the owner's manual.

Can you please tell me what page (I'm lazy!)? I loved that feature in other cars I have owned!

When I bought my HCHII in April my salesman gave me a packet of all of the manuals on the day I put a deposit on the car. That was a Friday and I was able to read the manuals before the picked the car up on the following Tuesday!

Actually, thanks to a link I found from the great folks here on the GH website, I was able to download the entire owner's manual and read it while on vacation the week before I picked up my car.

We also have a Prius, and with very, very carefull driving can get high numbers, but it is much easier with the Honda.
Now I know there is something wrong with my car, My best full tank in my Civic only averaged 39 mpg, and this is driving very conservatively. Granted most of my driving distance is less than 6 miles. I have about 1700 miles on it. My wife's Prius averages 41 mpg with the same kind of driving. I have read that the high mpg quoted here comes after 3,000 miles. What is your average trip distance?

I have the HCH -I but I Plan on buying the HCH2 very soon.
I drive conservatively and I keep my MPG aroung 50.

My wife will drive to the store ONCE.... and lower the MPG to about 37!
It only takes one bad trip to screw up your mileage

I found the switch for the ejector seat, oil slick, bulletproof rear window sheild and conversion into an underwater vehicle. Check back of the manual, owner's manual (read it shaken not stirred).
