BigOxley Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I know we could all really manage without most features, but what features will you always select if you get a new ride. Older features: A/C Cruise control Newer features: Backup camera (I was surprised how much I like this) Heated seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I really like heated/cooled seats, I never realized how nice cooled seats are until I starting using them in cars I test drive. I'm also a big fan of adaptive cruise. Two options my cars don't have that I'd like. The backup camera is really nice, it makes it a lot easier to get cars in and out of the shop, so it is convenient. I'm just not sure it's a selling point for me.

2 Sweet Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 FM radio is the only "must have" for me. But to answer your question, I'm much more interested in performance options than comfort options. Most new cars nowadays come standard with plenty of features that are enough to make me happy. I guess it depends on the model. For example, if I'm looking for a new Camaro I would want 1LE, dual mode exhaust, and Recaros. If I'm ordering a new car and money wasn't a concern, I would definitely get heated leather and backup camera, upgraded stereo, and whatever else they offer.

Fiji ST Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I know we could all really manage without most features, but what features will you always select if you get a new ride. Older features: A/C Cruise control These are a must have for me as well. I don’t even think you can get a car without A/C, unless it’s like a 350R. I do love having Bluetooth and streaming music. If there’s anything else I’d really love to have would be a rear camera. Everything else is eh, like Leather, power seats, radar cruise, etc. I’d rather save my pennies.

Lauren Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 As much as I like heated seats I LOVE heated steering wheel. Adaptive cruise and back up camera and Bluetooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Cruise control. I thought I could do without it when I bought my truck but a year later it drives me nuts any time I go on the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I have to admit, one of the reasons I chose the Avalanche was the toolboxes built into the bed rails. I like fold down rear seats for hauling larger items that are bigger than the trunk or the back seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 "Must" haves: Cruise control Heated seats (if the car is going to be a winter daily) *NOT* a conventional automatic.

Turbs3000 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 A.c., cruise, leather, heated seats, auto lights, back up camera, DVD (3 kids this is prob #1), prefer memory seats the wife and I switch cars weekly and this removes some of that annoyance, mpg on dash, 16 cup holders and a billion storage spots I'd like to try a heated steering wheel and blind spot monitoring, Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Comfortable seats, cruise control, good lighting, A.C. and good heat, and safety for my family. Decent passing power is also a must. My 2002 Yukon XL is honestly probably me favorite vehicle I've owned because of this. It doesn't excel in any one area however it's good in all these areas.

caseyctsv Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I can do without it, but I do wonder why HUD is not in more cars. Heated seats are a must. ventilated seats are getting there - if you have not experienced them you should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
