Apparently part of the pleasure of being a petrolhead is having a car with toys
Can i ask
What is the attraction
I occasionally use the pool car at work which a frankly bloody awful year old audi A6 with lots of things that move using electricity and a huge amount of buttons
At no point did i find myself staring at the window moving up and down at the press of button while giggling like a demented 5 year old
So what exactly is the attraction of all these toys
And do people actually sit there having HUGE fun while programming a destination into a satnav screen
As i tried it and quite frankly it was about as much fun as selecting the program on the dishwasher

Daily driving for most isn't a 'hoon'.
If I'm going to be stuck in traffic for long periods, or doing a long boring motorway slog, why WOULDN'T I want my seat to be heated, my gears changed for me, my phone & ipod connected so an make\take calls and listen to music, cruise control to make the journey more relaxing etc.
You sound like the kind of person that enjoys being miserable.

You aren't sat there giggling like an idiot because your window moves when you push a button
They don't make the car more fun they just make the world less annoying
