Have been thinking about which three features on my car I would really miss. My three:

Auto gearbox for central london traffic
Parking sensors as rear visibility awful
Ipod connection - saves hours making up CDs

Open to you!

My car has keyless entry, electronic handbrake, auto lights, auto wipers, electrically adjustable seats, a starter button, climate control, sliding rear seats, a half leather interior, an auto dimming mirror, a trip / mpg / miles left in tank display, a chilled glovebox and an electronic panoramic sunroof. My previous cars have had none of these things (apart from a couple that had a mpg display) so I have managed to live without all these gadgets and could easily do it again.

I'd really miss them all though

Music is nice, air con is good too, apart from that, nothing much. Really couldn't care less about sensors, central locking, electric windows, alloys, leather, sat nav, etc etc etc.

Accelerator pedal - Sounds daft, but I drive quite a few with hand throttles.

Parking distance - I love it for the peace of mind that there is nothing in a blind spot.

Radio - Mostly for traffic jams and long distance.

My 3 would have to be:

My bluetooth headunit (but being aftermarket i could move it around veichals)

The accelerator pedal (Tends to be quite usefull for getting places and making some noise)

My manual gearbox (I would never get on with an auto, i want to decide how many miles past the redline i want to change gear not the box. It would just be a constant argument even before setting off).
