Every car enthusiast or even every simple daily driver would love to have this basic features in their cars.

I'm a car person, I love cars, and all kind of them, classic, sports, SUVs, coupes, roadsters, hatchs, etc. I mean almost every car has something to show, some personal tricks, or comfys, specs, or whatever, but theres also some basic things we all want in every car, from a basic utility to a modern luxury car, this are there things every car should have as a standard.


1 - Roll down all windows button.

This is one of the most brilliant and basic things every car should have, think about it, its pretty obvious how practical this thing is, just one button to change the hot air inside your car on a summer day with the car parked at the sun, or moon button to change the aire in your car if you are a smoker, or just because you want it, it's just a simple function it doesn't add much cost and it will be very useful. I know there are much cars with this practical button, cars like Volvo S40, Nissan Altima,Mercedes Benz C class, Chevrolet Silverado and even the ugly Pontiac Aztek have them, but I used to work on a BMW and Nissan dealership and that wasn't a common feature to see.

2 - Turning signals on the steering wheel.

This is not so common to find, and maybe you will say is not that important to have the turning buttons right on the steering wheel, but if you think about practicality the only thing of not having to take your hands from the drive wheel to use the turning signal is just a plus to use them more, and its easier to see then, also remember when you are about to turn. I don't know much cars with this practical thing, some Mercedes Benz , I think S class have them, a couple of Ferraris, like California, 488, and 458, maybe more, Lamborghini Huracan, and some other supercars in other to put everything close to your hands so you don't have to take them off, in case you want to use a turning signal in the track, maybe?.
I can't remember how much cars I saw with them, but honestly its a thing I always pay attention when I'm getting into a car, and I only saw a few and I always ask myself why isn't this a common thing in modern cars.

3 - Harnesses instead of seat-belts.

Ok this one may be the most controversial one, but if you think about safety (and seems every brand is thinking about it nowadays) why most of the countries ( like USA) doesn't allow cars with five point harnesses? Because then it will be a race car and those are not legal, so you can have any car without a common seatbelt. I've seen some cars that have both of them just to ... the regulations to get the car legal for that country. But for example some cars like Mercedes Benz CLK 63 DTM only have the racing harnesses making it illegal to import into the USA, unless you can prove how special the car is in other to make the government make an exception for that so exotic car, like that Mercedes for example. I still don't understand how could not be legal a safer seatbelt, that people use for racing, where you crash much harder, at higher speed, but it seems that it doesn't matter, you need to have that cheap weird normal three point seatbelt.


Want more...?



Those are my features I would love to add to any car as a basic standard thing, let me know yours and what thing would you add to any car. Also I'm already writing another post about "three things every car brand should stop doing".
As I said I'm a car fan, and I used to work a lot with cars, dealerships, and basic mechanics, so I'll be sharing more about my experience and opinions about some car related things, so if you are into it, stay tuned for more.
