Arronng,
You "programme" a VCR to perform a series of of controlled events ie. to record a future TV program.

If we're going on semantics, you actually "program" a VCR. "Programme" and "program" are interchangeable as nouns (although "program" is the Australian standard version), but you can only use "program" as a verb.

That said, Honda's use of the word is slightly misleading -- and I wonder if it's a segment of copy that was used in an overseas brochure (as they're pretty well the same, if you download one).

Technically, if there's a microchip driving the motors, then "programmed" would be a correct word to use.

I read the brochure and never interpreted it that way.

If memory seats were really important, surely you would have had the salesman demonstrate the feature to you during your test drive?

Exactly my point, Tobster.

Your interpretation of the sales brochure is different to mine, making it at least vague, and IMHO is also misleading.

And you are right, I didn't ask the salesmen to show me how to set the seat memory, or how to close the sunroof once the ignition key is turned off, or many other of the myriad of functions.
Sometimes people assume what they read in a sales brochure without verifying every function mentioned, prior to the point of sale.

It wasn't the deciding factor in purchasing the car, but I was interested in other interpretations of of the sales brochure.
Point proved.......different opinions.........
