>option to turn off traction control and stability control
>>15222747
best thing about my old saab desu.
really helped me to learn how to drive economically
>cruise control
>cooled seats
>perforated seats
>remote start
Living in Texas, my truck sits out in the heat all day. Being able to start my truck remotely and getting in and not burning myself is wonderful.
>>15222747
>The ability to pause and rewind radio.
Super handy for talk radio
>>15222747
Turning lamps on the side view mirrors.
Auto dimming rearview mirror. Great because I live in an area with people who like either taking their old cars and putting xenons in the crappy halogen housings, or drive through well lit areas with their fucking brights on for some reason.
Speaking of though, xenon headlights. Fuck yes. If they're fitted in proper housings and angle they give a fantastic view of the road without pissing off other drivers. Don't know if I can go back to halogens ever again.
LED tail lamps. Why not.
Adaptive cruise control.
>>15222747
My IS300 has a MPG gauge. Goes all the way up to 80. Toyota was really optimistic I guess
>heated morrors
>wireless phone charging
>Dual climate control
>>15222747
>fuel gauge tells you how many gallons you have left on the notches instead of leaving you to guess
>has fuse puller and extra fuses in the fuse box
>OBD1 and OBD 2

>the stereo always starts at a low volume so you won't damage a cold speaker or be startled by loud music
>dual zone temperature
>foldable section of the rear seat that exposes a hole between the cabin and boot
This makes transporting skis and other things of similar length a lot easier
>foldable lower section of the rear hatch
Quite comfy if you're putting on skates, ski boots or similar to sit on, and makes putting larger objects like stereos & baby carriages in a lot easier
sweeping needle gauge at start-up
Honestly, the less creature comforts and buttons there are, the happier I am. Hence why I love my Elise so much.
But another anon said my favorite.
>Fuel gauge with gas level, so you actually know how much you have left.
>>15223105
Impreza bro bump
This.
>>15223105
Kia Rio bro bump. Also as per the topic of this thread: a needle showing the oil level on startup.
>>15223105

such a cringeworthy feature
>>15222774
shingo pls
>>15223105
My Altima did this. I miss it on my new car.
>>15222774
I tried this on my TC and it only goes off for a single hektik skid, then the ECU turns it back on
pop out rear windows
>>15222796
Have you also thought about getting sunshade foils? They're also really good from stopping the sun from turning your interior into an oven.

>>15224522
especially on coupes, keeps air moving through the cabin when your windows are down.
>>15223268
Kys
That flip-up clock button on Hondas so you can tell the time when the car's off.
>>15223105
Mine does this but it's not supposed to. The speedo and tach sort of judder halfway around the dial while the engine cranks. Something about a voltage reference stabilizing.

reassuring to have more oversight on critical functions, good for diagnosing problems early on.
>pop-out rear windows

The way I drive, coins would fall out immediately. I just use the ashtray to hold my change since it slides out and keeps the change out of sight.
center consoles that double as removable coolers.
>>15222802
>pausing and rewinding live radio
what, this is actually a thing? like a fucking tivo?
that's amazing, what car?
redundant stereo controls in the cargo area.
Along with a split-folding tailgate with molded seats and cupholders.
fully recline-able driver seat
privacy partition
fingerbox
>>15224940
I can't deal with the concept of operating handbrakes with my foot. If I'm driving a car with foot-handbrake I'll instinctively feel around the centre console before remembering.
>>15225200

I wish I had this
>>15222747
You can retrofit one of these:
http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/MPGuino
And see your current fuel consumption in cars that don't come with them stock. They are neat though, and they can really turn you into a hypermiler - I got 25kpl (almost 59MPG) in my gf's Suzuki Splash, just using that thing on the highway.
>Radio keeps playing when you turn the car off for 15 minutes or until you open the door
>>15222881
Harsh adaptive cruise control is the worst though. Having sat in a Volvo with pretty aggressive ACC, it both spoiled my appetite for regular cruise control (you can NEVER go back), but it also braked way too early.
Good ACC is a dream though.
>>15222796
Volvo even has a system where you can just order your car to heat or cool from your cellphone. Hook that up to your Google calendar, and it'll know when you're done working, and make sure your car is cooled (summer) or heated(winter) when you coem back. Fucking great.
>>15225746
too bad Google now knows your work schedule, and what climate you find comfortable.
now, one day, when machines take over, it may make it slightly too warm or chilly for you.

The little piece of fabric between the center console and the side of your seat so that small objects aren't lost forever in the no man's land under your seat.
>>15225743
Yeah mine brakes kind of early, that's why I change the follow distance to 2 seconds instead of the default 3. It'll at least not brake of you get behind a car that's going faster or the same speed.
>>15223211
what car is this? Parents had a Nissan Patrol with a sub tank, such a cool feature to press it and have it fill up the main.
>digital speedometer
i couldnt go back to using the silly needle one now

hold it for longer
the TCS light will come on, then off again
works on xB
>>15222796
cooled seats are the shit. Poor fags are just jelly as fuck.
>>15226181
You can't fool me, your shitbox 'Vette doesn't even have traction control. Now FUCK OFF, Cyrus!
Side mirrors adjustable from the inside.
Locks where you can turn the key once to unlock driver door, or twice to unlock every door.
Seats that are actually comfortable.
Lots of knee room in the dash.
Steering wheel close enough to the seat so that you don't have to fully extend your arms.
Displays outdoor temp.
>>15222881
I don't really like LED tail lamps. The light is too directional so it makes it retardedly bright to the person directly behind you but (in the shitty setups at least) you can barely be seen from the side
>>15225118
That looks really cool.
>power windows are still functional for a short while after the car is off
realizing you forgot to roll up the windows after you open the door and then having to fucking restart the car just to roll them up is the fucking worst
>>15229705
my car keeps them on for 30 seconds after I turn it off, but if I open the door it automatically shuts them off so I would have to put the key back in to roll them up
>>15229649
>too bright to the person behind you
Never had this happen. Especially since they dim signicantly unless your foot is on the brake.
>hood tach
>long shifter rod
>metal / chrome fittings, physical switches and dials
>>15229801
Not that anon but I do a large portion of my driving at night and can confirm that led lights can be too damn bright sometimes.

Lincoln cars had that back in the 60s.
Flick the Window bypass switch and you can operate the windows with no key in the car

this handy shit went into the door pocket on my folks bmw back when.
>>15222959
Is that like a coin holder?
Load it with quarters manually?
If you don't have enough to get them snug wouldn't they fall out?
Anyway, EZpass master race lmfao what toll slow down to 20 and get back up and going again
>>15223105
Don't all cars do this? I thought it was like a maintenance or diagnostic check for the gauges
t. Only driven Toyota corolla whole life
>>15222747
toggle switches
manual windows
engraved manual transmission knob
horn buttons
fender flares
driver centric controls layout (think supra)
>>15230754
funny, I found a coinholder in my E36 but it sucks that it's not in the center console, just the doorpanel. I just throw coins into the ashtray, fucking krauts.
>>15222774
Got it on my jeep even though I don't really need it.
>>15229705
I added a switch to my camper van. My power windows are always off or always on. Having your cat step on the passenger window button at 80mph is not fun. The flip side is I never have to key to roll them up or down when parked. Driving and camping with cast is otherwise based as fuck.
Must have feature is push button start. I feel like a poor chump whenever I have to start my Taco I feel like a chump cooking from my wife's Grand Cherokee. Luckily I have an aftermarket kit waiting for some free time.

It's the greatest thing.
>>15224829
fuck yes
>>15231325
But how does the car know it's the key holder starting the car and not some random guy who broke your window?
Genuine curious
>>15231373
This is how it is in my car, it magnetically pulls the fob in and then you can start.
I think in certain cars you only need to be near the car though.
drivers door will not close when locked
passengers door can only be locked from the inside
>more handy than it sounds
rear hatch has no handle or button only a key slot and gas struts
dank cost savings
>>15229649
>That looks really cool.
And the only car to ever feature this cool feature?
This motherfucker right here.
>>15231384
>I think in certain cars you only need to be near the car though.
Nissan's do that.
>>15231444
But it sometimes sucks that you have to turn your car off when you want to get something from the trunk
>>15231766
>But it sometimes sucks that you have to turn your car off when you want to get something from the trunk
My car has no button on the hatch itself but you have a lever on the driver side to open the rear hatch.

Got any samples of what cars you mean? The cars I can think of offhand with actual LED dear lamps - Altima SV/SL, BRZ/FR-S, Maxima, Genesis, etc - I've seen on the road never bothered me by being too bright.
>>15225025
My old bmw 650 had that. Was actually a really neat feature.
>>15231373
>>15231384
You either have to insert the fob then push the button, or there's a infrared signal sent out by the fob that can only be sensed within like 5 feet of the car.
>Rolling down windows from remote
GOAT feature on hot days when you want to get some fresh air in before you leave work.
Honda's that don't let you lock the door unless it's closed. I will never lock my keys in my car.

I had a 335i coupe for awhile, and it does not "Magnetically" pull the fob in lol. You push it in hear a click and start the car. The only reason you'd ever even use the slot though is if your fob battery was getting low, other wise just keep it in your pocket.

Most cars have a gas mileage gauge, but are you talking about an instantaneous meter? GMT900 SUVs had one, but it isn't very responsive and was pretty useless.
>>15236764
Actually these engines have an oil dipstick, and the shaft to use it. However it is a special tool that has to be bought, since the customer is supposed to use the electronic one.

I have no air conditioner, or power steering. Driving a manual never was so uncomfortable. I dread to when I have to go to San Antonio.
