What additional features would you like on your car?

Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind a 6th gear, but only for cold starts.

Having to sit at 120km/h @ 3,000 rpm on the motorway is annoying when the engine is cold.
 
More power
something powered by electric, it doesnt matt
er what it is

a 5th gear

oh and a rev counter would be nice too

I don't ask for much
 
Working aricon. Car had it intermittently when I bought it but then the compressor clutch pulley plate lunched itself.

New compressor time tomorrow. £415 gassed and fitted on a £1500 car. Nuts I know but I got heat rash on the trip back from cornwall to Sheffield the other week. Looking forward to the cooling working again.
 
Well at this point a working roof on my boxster s would be nice. But assuming thats fixed tomorrow I would go with:

Sat nav - Although I hear the sat nav in the 986 was appauling anyway.

cruise control - Would be nice but the cars not really made for it, its a bit raw for cruise control I would say.

More power - but then again who doesn't 260bhp just doesn't seem enough.
 
Cruise control!
Working aircon, but windows down with the sound of the engine is never a bad thing.
Better MPG
Heated front screen would be a godsend in winter. Damn you Ford for patenting it!

Edit - And more power, in the last 3 years i've gone from 90bhp to 130 then 200 and now 300, i just cant get enough! :D

But it bearly touches the boxsters chassis it could happily deal with at least 50bhp more imo.

I know the feeling, mine could do with 50bhp more it's self, But then it only has 125ish bhp lol.

Still 260 ain't to be sniffed at :p
 
It depends what it's attached too as well - 275bhp under the hood but it's lugging around 2 tonnes of weight, still shifts when you floor it mind :p
 
The joyous experience that is Omega, by Vauxhall has pretty much everything I really need. Cruise control is indeed awesome for all those that have listed it, as is heated electric cow to sit on. What would be nice is some value - it pretty much doesn't have any of that left - always handy when it's time for a swap. Oh, and brakes that dont fade half way into a spirited push accross Milton keynes! Damn sea of dual carriageway-linked roundabouts :)

You know you've caught the speed bug when you can say 260bhp is just not enough :)

Maybe not enough was the wrong word – it’s enough but the car is screaming for more :D

Your not wrong, kerb weight on my car is 1300kg so its just shy of 200bhp/ton. Don't get me wrong it goes when you want it to but a little more power is always good :)
