The only features I really want is ABS, Bluetooth and a physical interface. Everything else I would rather not pay for.
I live in Sweden so it's not like I need AC, I don't use cruise etc. and most other modern features mainly serve to annoy me.
Wireless CarPlay.
Aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth in one car, road noise and a single earbud in the other, but usually just road noise.
I guess it depends on how far North you live. I'm a Swede too, and cars in summer with no A/C would be unbearable.
Malmö :)
ABS has been an EU legal requirement for at least ten years. It's not generally marketed as a feature unless it's part of a safety-stability system e.g. ESP and collision mitigation.
If these control systems are implemented skillfully you won't know they are present on the vehicle. People think they understand how a car works right up to the point they have to make one and then go back to talking about bicycles.
I mention it mostly because my car doesn't have it.
If the DEFOG was 2 touchscreen menus deep how would you feel?
My car doesn't have one so same diff I guess
You just stick your head out the side when the front window fogs up?
To me the defogger is the heat strips in the rear window/sometimes mirrors. Windscreen I just direct the air at the windscreen.
Well, I think you'll need AC anyway, since it works as a heat pump to heat your car up in winter.
Only in electric vehicles. Gasoline and diesel engines generate a lot of waste heat, which is why they have radiators at the front of the engine compartment for water cooling. The cabin heater in most vehicles is an optional air path though a small heat exchanger on the radiator water loop, so it’s as efficient as possible. That’s also why the car has to be running for a few minutes before the heat starts working.
You do not need AC. We have two cars in the family and neither has AC.
Tell that to someone living in Phoenix.
Well that was a reply to someone saying you need AC to blow hot air, which you do not.
Either way me personally I do not need AC.
I called someone in the 602 area code.
I said "you don't need AC"
The woman that answered said "that cheating mother fucker"
Then i heard gunshots.
I hope im not on a list now.
"In my situation we don't need AC, so neither does anyone else! My supporting argument is that we don't have AC and live with it."
My whole narrative was from my perspective and my needs? What is your problem?
edit: I see you are probably misinterpreting the comment chain, the comment is a reply in regards to needing AC for blowing hot air, you do not, just a fan.
Me personally however, I do not need AC. What other people want or need is not discussed..
