I'm starting to yearn for cruise control. It's common on USA mk1 Focus's but it costs a lot to buy, a hassle to reprogram for a 1.6L engine and difficult to install. I've got to admit I was never a fan of cruise control. But having driven a few cars recently on long distances with CC, making that 200mile journey is a breeze. It's something I can live without for the moment. I will definately be looking more into this when buying my next car. Infact, it'll be a prerequisit for my next car especially as I find myself travelling increasingly more to and from London/Suffolk/Leeds.

I can live without integrated sat nav. However if it's on the next car then that'll be a bonus. They did do an integrated sat nav for the mk1 Focus. Finding it is hard as it's rarer than a politician admitting he's wrong, and after seeing demonstrations of it in action, it's crap.

This thread won't work if people wished for massaging and ventilated seats on a 98 Fiat Cinquecento. So you have to be realistic.

rocket launchers for middle lane hogs

iDrive with widescreen professional navigation, USB interface and two turbochargers.

I'd like a built in sat nav on the S80 and maybe cooled seats but that's about it.

Someone to drive it when im drunk

Ability to switch between auto/manual transmission, and traffic updates on the built-in satnav. Other than that my car has everything I want

A steering wheel that doesn't melt in the sun.

realistically, lumbar adjustment for my seat.

Less realistically, an S54 engine, wide track suspension, etc etc

a supercharger

I've always found it odd that the Galant doesn't have a trip computer considering the general spec level.

I'd also rather it DIDN'T have the wood effect steering wheel.

6th gear and a turbo wouldn't go a miss

ganesh · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:40

A 6th gear and cruise control.

Gtiracer · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:40

Working would be nice for a start

So just someone to drive it all the time then?

Disco Boy · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:43

Air con is top of the list, closely followed by some power...

I know right thanks mate!

Lashout_UK · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:53

I don't want anything extra on my car at all.

Actually, saying that, another 100BHP wouldn't go amiss

PinkFloyd · 29 Apr 2011 at 14:54

On my ST24 I'd like

Heated steering wheel for the winter! (seats are heated - why not the wheel!)
Sunroof
Cruise Control
More seat adjustment

Bit more power would be nice too
