I drove an 04 Yukon up until last year when I got a new truck.

I never knew how much I would use the back up camera and remote start.

Automatic headlights. I forget to turn on the headlights whenever I drive someone else's car. My truck isn't even fancy. Just an '07 single cab Sierra. The auto-lights is probably the most high-tech feature on the thing.

I drive a lot so satellite radio for me is key.

As much as I do like the backup camera, a lot people rely too much on them and never actually check their surroundings before backing up.

The car I have now is the first car I've ever had with cruise control, I use that much more than I thought it would. I've also become quite attached to my satellite radio and would have a hard time without it!

For us, it's radio controls on the steering wheel. My wife's right arm ends just above where her elbow should be, so she has a difficult time with anything in the center console.

If I ever teach her to drive a stick, I'm going to have to buy a European model for her to learn on.

As far options that I personally wouldn't want to do without, I would have to choose rear air vents and Bluetooth.

And before you ask for pics, I've posted them multiple times before. Just go through my threads started, and look for the one where I talk about our car being wrecked. That's the most recent post I've made with pictures of her arse.

Blind side blinker warning. I've never hit anyone, but I have gotten close when I'm half asleep on the way to work. Now I just hit my blinker to see if anyone's there, and if it doesn't chime I can double check as I go.

I've been pulled over twice in the last couple years for no headlights while driving rental cars that didn't have them. Both times, the cops laughed and said understood, just turn them on.

So apparently I can't live without automatic headlights.

Tint. The kind with the heat shield shite or whatever. Makes a difference even with a great AC. I do drive towards the sun. Though technically not a feature.

Hands free phone with buttons on steering wheel, air conditioning and brakes. I really like brakes on my vehicles.
