Cars these days seem to come with a plethora of gadgets and options these days, so much so that it is easy to lose sight of what is useful and what is pointless. So i thought i would start a thread to discuss what our absolute favourite bit of spec is for a car. This could either be something you have always thought was great, or perhaps something that you thought you didn't really need but when having it realised how good it is. I thought we could have a top three (in order), and they could be on your car, or a car you have been in, and would be things that you would not be able to live without in future. Maybe explain why you think what you have listed is so good as well (if you can be bothered 
).
My top three:
1.) Keyless entry and start - The thought of having a key and putting it into an ignition barrel seems archaic to me now. This is the single biggest must have in a car for me. I can't really put my finger on why,as admittedly it does not save much time in the long run, but with it, the whole getting in and out and starting and stopping feels so much smoother/more seamless. It is also very useful for if you are carrying anything as well and it is great to not have to rummage around in your pocket for your keys all the time. The system in my new car is even better than the one I had previously as well in that the mirrors fold out and the drl lights come on even as you approach it (before unlocking), it unlocks when you pull the handle, and then the car just auto locks itself when you walk away so you don't even have to press any buttons on the door handles. Great stuff.
2.) Voice control for music, specifically being able to just say the song, album, artist you want it to play - I don't think i could live without this now. Being able to just say exactly what you want the car to play is fantastic. No more scrolling through or having to search for what you want, just say the words and bingo! I also think this is brilliant in terms of safety as well, as it stops you from being tempted to fiddle around looking for music whilst driving.
3.) Auto high/low beam - I was sceptical about this at first as i wasn't really sure how well it would work. I figured it would be slow or temperamental but boy was i wrong! It seems to work exceptionally well and really has exceeded my expectations. It reacts very quickly and toggles between main and dipped exactly as I would. I do a fair bit of driving at night through unlit roads, so this has made night driving much nicer.
