Cruise control.

Never had a vehicle with adaptive cruise but I imagine that'd be the next one on the list

Lane keeping assist is nice for long road trips. Essentially don't have to steer the vehicle.

Other than that, my car has a hard drive on it that you can burn CDs or MP3's on to. It's a nice function.

Also, the blind spot awareness is a game changer.

backup camera
remote start
auto-dimming mirrors
auto-headlights
auto-sensing wipers that change speed with change in rain
car play (have this in my recently purchased vehicle and it's awesome having your texts read to you and be able to respond to them via voice)

My Sierra has the HID headlights and every 2 or 3 cars I pass flash their high beams at me.


They are flashing you to let you know that your lights are out of alignment and are in their eyes. Regardless of how bright your HID lights are, they shouldn't aimed high enough to be in another driver's eyes.

Get your lights property aligned.

I bout a 2017 f250 with the trailer backing assistant, talk about crazy you "steer" the trailer with a joystick on the dash and the computers steer the truck to make sure it goes where you want the trailer. Between that and the backup camera it makes backing up with a trailer about 1000% times easier than it was in my 07.

Would never own a truck that didn't include this feature after having it.

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!


That's funny. I always have cruise and never use it, even on long trips.

Kinda pointless with bluetooth, assuming your music is already on your phone.

Here's one anyone under 40 probably won't appreciate.

Modern fuel injection. I still have my first car ever. 1969 Ford Fairlane with the 428 Super Cobra Jet, I love that car, but just getting it to start is a chore, and if it's under 40 degrees F , forget it, it won't start. FOr every day use, modern fuel injection is one of the greatest advancements in automobiles ever.
