Features You Miss

Cyndrax · 04-19-2005, 03:33 PM

So the one thing that I miss most since I traded my prior car for my Prius is the turn signals.

On my old car, you could tap the turn signal stalk up or down and it would flash the signal 3 or 4 times. Thus with a single tap, I had enough flashed to signal my impending lane change.

Of course, there is no way in hell I would trade my Prius back in...

What feature do you all miss the most?

The ability to haul a weeks worth of ski gear, 5 family members, ice chests, toys, pack&play inside and skis on top while plowing through 12" deep snow at 60mph in 4WD! ;-)

Ok, seriously...the large electric adjustable seats are the only thing I really wish I had. An attenuate (not the press the mode button for 5 seconds to turn off the system) button on the audio system is nice too.

Multi adjustiable seats with lumbar support and auto on and off headlights.

Multi-adjustable front seats (power or not), rear sunshade, rear vents

i guess if i missed anything, it would be ride height. in my F-150, i sat a lot higher and that was nice in heavy traffic. i hate not being able to see around the car in front of me.

i end up just falling back to create space for myself.

The intermittent wiper control on my 1997 Plymouth Breeze had far more variance between the high and low settings. Though I've never heard anyone complain about this before, with the six months of drizzle we get every year here in the Pacific Northwest, good wiper controls are very important.

That being said, there is no way I'd ever take back that rolling oil slick I called my car.

Ah yes, adjustable seats. I forgot about that one...
