It come with a booster seat so's you can see over the dash? gday cap the LUD is actually meant to be just under the line of direct vision, unlike most conventional displays which sit behind the steering wheel. here's a Left Hand Drive(US) version to illustrate : mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Wow thats a really cool car, it looks so kick ass. What happens if you mess with that power button while driving? the power button's function is linked to when the car is in the "park" gear. Its just like you cant pull the keys out on conventional ignitions whilst the car is in any other gear than park... so yeah, you can press it all you like, the lcd screen tells you to quit foolin until the you put into park, and the car keeps tootling along mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 well a family man like you would need a car like that mike That year ('97) we had a our first 'family vacation' (with 9 month old baby) and had to take both of our compact cars, and then said 'that's it!' and got the wagon (4WD, weren't ready for minivan ... yet) My wife used it, and she's had two more minivans since then, but I'm determined to miulk this one for every mile I can. wow is that snow !! never seen snow down in this part of Oz. Yep, and the only reason I had that picture was that we were going to a wedding in late May, and so I had the camera ... and it snowed! May 18th, in fact. Late even for my part of New England.

Jeff Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I don't have a car Have to drive my dad's impala or my mom's minivan. The impala is pretty nice, but I hate vans. Hopefully I'll get a car pretty soon. Actually, hopefully I'll finally get my license pretty soon, I've been old enough to take the 2nd class/road test for a while.

TiE23 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 here's a Left Hand Drive(US) version to illustrate : mtfbwya My family has a 2004 Saturn Ion, it also has the center dash. Our's is an Ion 3 (1, 2, and 3, higher the number the better) with every option avaiable except for leather and a sun roof (wasn't avaiable at the time, but my dad really wanted it) and manual, because it was a combination of the idea to save some money, and that my parents wanted my brother and I to learn stick.
