Features you wish your car had

[CedricN]

Smooth petrol engine instead of the tractor like diesel
Auto box
Stream music via BT
Would be nice with automatic traffic jam driving that some cars have.

Thats would make my 318d way better

[FD3Si]

Heated windscreen is the only thing I've ever actually though 'that would be really handy'. I guess owning a lot of cheap old cars makes you set your expectations a lot lower.

[buzzer]

Mute button for the wife

[0llie]

Panoramic roof and cruise in the MINI.

A/C & cruise would be nice in the RR.

[N5 NRO]

Front washer jets for my 306 (monkeys stole the old ones) and a galvanised chassis for my MGB GT.

[toerag]

2 more cylinders & a spare wheel.

[Triumph Man]

Adjustable lumbar support (why do BMWs very rarely have this?) and a sunroof.

[Whitean3]

Having just traded my 996 C4S in for a B7 RS4 avant, there are a couple of things that slowly become apparent that would be useful to have (that I assumed would be standard fitment)- isofix for the rear seats, and switchable passenger airbag.
My car has the 'official' Audi iPod connector in the glovebox, but it doesn't really work.

I also wish that the Sport Button was a bit more useful, especially in terms of noise- civilized when driving normally, switching to holy mother of god V8 goodness when deployed. Sadly, there's not a huge difference in sound, the seat bolsters don't stay inflated for long either!

[PanzerCommander]

Heated windscreen like most Fords, oddly you can get it on a 1998 Ford Focus but not on a 2006 Mustang, its about the only feature I miss from the ST.

[CrutyRammers]

Curry hook in the passenger footwell. Brilliant things, all cars should have them.

[gtidriver]

Next car will have electric boot with foot operation and auto unlocking of doors. And be an auto.

[simonrockman]

My car is a 1993 190E so misses out on most things a modern car would consider "normal", but I do wish it, and modern cars - particularly the Italians - had a "quite" mode. Something that would switch off the seatbelt, headlight left on, door open etc buzzers. I want to be credited with knowing what's going on with my car and don't want to be reminded of things I know - like having taken off my seatbelt. I've just done it, maybe Mr car I did it on purpose?

And I want the mode to be "sticky" that is I don't want to have to re-enable it every time I get in.

Simon.

- Cruise control
- Heated seats would be nice in winter

Pints said:

Lumbar support.

Standard E36 3er seats.

I never used to struggle with my back after London to Scotlands drive with the E30's sport seats.

And I should really get round to replacing the OEM standard cassette head unit so I can stop faffing around with the FM transmitter. Cassette adaptor got jammed when I tried it.

[grkify]

my 2000 clio

A/C
Cruise Control
Cup Holder for the driver

[mikeyr]

Hill holder function - my classic Scooby had one and I loved it. When your commute involves stop start shuffling up a steep hill it would be a godsend.

Failing that - a heated front screen which will be top of most people's list in a few weeks time!

[GravelBen]

More direct steering, and a rearward adjustable torque split...

[thatdude]

Wouldnt mind a sixth gear, drop the revs by 500 rpm at 70 mph (3000 instead of 3500)

Steering column that can go in and out as well as up and down

About it

[fezst]

Bought a Z3 and it didn't come with missiles behind the headlights.

[CallorFold]

I think they've all been said -

6th Gear
Adapative Cruise
Heated Front Windscreen

And although not major, it would be useful on some occasions - 5 doors!

[HJMS123]

4 more cylinders

anti-dazzle rear view mirror

auto tailgate
