Air conditioned seats. No more swamp arse. Cold air on your balls when it's 100 degrees out is magical.
Dual zone automatic climate control. No more fighting over the temperature. My side lives at 68 degrees. I don't give a shite what you set your side to.
Keyless entry/start/smartkeys. Walk up to car and grab handle and the doors automatically unlock. Hit the button under the trunk and it pops open. Hit the start button and the car fires. Key fob never leaves the pocket. Also makes it impossible to lock your keys in the car or the trunk. The car simply won't lock anything if it senses the keys in the car's perimeter.
Voice commands. Controlling the entire entertainment/information/climate control systems without looking away from the road or moving my hands off the steering wheel is nice.
Manual transmissions.

I still want a 4 speed with a low 1st gear. And 4WD front hubs that are manually engaged.
Of course just give me an AM radio.
I had a 1976 300 cubic inch straight six F150 4x4 that would pull like a tractor and always get me there and bacK. Best vehicle I ever had.
Today I have a 5.0 Coyote F150 4X4 with Sat radio, etc but I would trade it today for that old truck. As long as it had AC

A/C.
I'd be fine going back to my 90s Dakota with a manual transmission and crank windows.

Backup camera and Bluetooth.

Rev-matching. It makes a stick so much easier and more fun on the track.

I dunno, I'm still rocking an '09

All these cameras and sensors are great until they break. Then it'll be $500+ to fix.

Parking assistance cameras and heads up display. Head up display is great with showing speed limit because I have a tendency to not notice speed limit signs which constantly changes in the dfw area as well as showing directions on it to keep me from using to look away from the road.

I use to say backup camera since my last 3 company cars had backup cameras.. then i started current job and the car i got thru new job doesnt have one, so guess I'm living without it (btw Chevrolet sucks)... but my satellite radio I'm truly addicted to, honestly dont know how I'd survive without.. ok maybe im exagerrating but not by much.

I could do without my car telling me how to drive.
Features I could do without:
Check engine light
Tire pressure sensors
Parking sensors
Pretty much every sensor
Seatbelt beeping shite
Speed limit notifications
Emergency brakes automatically being engaged when I don't want them too.
Big arse keys
Seatbelts locking anytime the brake is applied, like in a turn.
Oil filters that require a special tool to remove.
A display that requires routine updates, as if it's a computer. It's just a fricking radio display, if you'd let me sync apps from my phone to it then I'd understand.
20 buttons on my steering wheel.
An enormous rear view mirror that's too low and impossible to get out of my line of sight.
Enormous head rests in the back seats, blocking 75% of the rear window.
Waiting for a computer to relay to my engine that it needs more gas. When i press the accelerator, i expect to go, not wait for my car to decide if i should really be accelerating that much.
The only features I care about are:
Windows that go up AND down with one push, all of them.
Cruise control
A/C
Automatic lights
radio
An arm rest
Acceleration
