Help me choose which car based on these options

[jamei303]

Price and everything else aside my choice between two new cars boils down to this:



Which would you go for?

[RizzoTheRat]

Does the first option have standard cruise or no cruise? If the choice was Standard cruise and heated windscreen I'd take that over adaptive cruise and adaptive lights any day.

If the choice came down to cruise or heated windscreen then the cruise control wins hands down.

Spare wheel wouldn't bother me too much, in 30 years of driving I think I've had to change tyres due to a puncture about twice. a can of goo and a compressor would have done the job on both occasions (and probably been easier as I bent the wheel brace getting the bloody bolts undone!)

Cruise and headlights. No brainer. You can grab a spare on eBay. Heated windscreen is nice, but the other two are better, except for a couple of mornings a year.

Will you do a lot of driving that requires ACC? Its great for motorway driving I've found, but that's really only when I use it now as my drive to work is country roads.

I miss my heated windscreen after a few days of my screen being iced up after a late shift.

You can buy a spare wheel to put in the car, heated screens are nice but not needed all that often and a £7 windscreen cover from Amazon stops your screen freezing\misting up, have ACC on my current car and love it so my choice would be option 2.

Heated screen and spare wheel.

Headlights can be switched on with your hands. ACC is pointless in the UK and borderline dangerous in if used without due care and attention, speed is better controlled by you rather than a computer.

Standard cruise and auto headlights, is what I have.
No need for heated windscreen screen, too mild in coastal N.Wales, no spare wheel makes me nervous, but runflats have been OK.
Having said that, I would go for a 4 square wheel/tyre set up and a spare with 5 all-seasons next time round.

Not at all dangerous in my experience. You have to drive with due care and attention anyway, irrespective of type of cruise control system.

I'd opt for the heated screen regardless of the spare wheel).

If you are paying attention when you drive why do you need adaptive anything?

Heated front screen for me.
