Arizona has a one year life expectancy for wipers.... found that out yesterday....so yes...a day late.... even though Indiana embarrassed Donald duck... I will still cheer them on to national championship game

As an old man who participates in a downtown vendor/farmers market January -March weekends... I love the feature of heated seats during my 20 minutes drive...my back is relaxed and ready to unload the infrastructure of selling my goods.

During the summer allows me to complain about the 108 heat shown on the dashboard... I don't travel over 108

"You have a nail/screw in your tire" feature

Remote start!
Heated seats and steering wheel!
Rear window defrost!
Have I stated how much I HATE WINTER!

I LOVE the heated seats too. I find that using them helps me relax on my way to and from work, which can be very trying and exhausting, especially this time of year.

I really do need to replace my wipers!

Cooled Seats- since heated seats were already mentioned, I’ll shout out my seat coolers. They aren’t as impactful as I’d hoped but they do still help cool me off when I’m feeling a bit warm.

Push button start/entry- I really hate having to put a physical key in the ignition, so I love just keeping my key tucked in my bag.

Power lift gate with interior button- Long gone are the days where I have to manually open the heavy gate…especially in the rain/cold.

connecting to my phone for directions, calls, or music/audiobooks - this is the first car I've had that in, and I love it!

another vote for automatic lights - mine even brighten and dim on dark back roads depending whether there are other cars or not

I also like being able to leave the keys in my pocket or purse

Round things
Peace sign, Yin/Yang symbol
Hidden Mickeys
Pizza (round, triangle slices, in a square box)


Car stuff
All safety features, seatbelts, warning beeps, etc.
My car is so old, it is still analog, but my DH’s has all the bells and whistles of being able to connect to maps, apple play music, and otehr cool stuff
Being able to lock and unlock with my thumb with the keys in my bag

Morning all,

1. Heated seats & remote heating control - another vote for heated seats but I'll tie this in with the ability to pre-heat my car from the app on my phone, meaning I never have to get in when it's cold during the winter (presuming I remember to pre-heat that is).

2. Android Auto - the ability to sync direct with my phone to use my maps and Spotify is a feature I couldn't live without. Gone are the days of having an outdated sat nav!

3. Cheap to charge - while I'm still not 100% on electric cars, I do love how cheap mine is to charge at home compared to what i used to pay for fuel.
