I've got an '03 touring edition, she only had 5000 miles when I bought her ... saved some money. The touring edition should have VDC and traction control and heated seats ... like the earlier post said, the VDC on/off switch is to the left of the steering column. The buttons for heated seats are aft of the gear shift. If you put your right hand on the gear shift, then your elbow will fall precisely on the heater buttons. This explains why your butt suddenly becomes hot on a beautiful spring day ... poor placement.
Other than the "tire roar" problem, I've been happy. Just got two new front tires under warranty. The limit on the tire replacement for the '03 is 2 years from original purchase date. Find this date out, it will be important ... especially with the tire replacement issue for the '03.
