Favorite Minor Feature On Your Z

Bking · 07-08-2013, 12:16 PM

I like how you can lock/unlock all doors by pressing the button in the trunk. This way the passenger won't have to wait for me to get to the driver's side to unlock the doors.

The backup camera. It's worth it's weight in gold IMO.

SUPER minor, and I'm sure 99% of cars do this, but I recently discovered you can fold the mirrors in. I accidentally bumped into one and thought I broke it! Comes in handy in busy parking lot...and the car might even look a little sleeker when they're folded in lol.

The perfect little thing for the parking garage when I go to Minneapolis.

No worries, friend. It took me a while after I had my Z to discover this. I know people laugh at me because I am a dinosaur/caveman at just 27 years old.

Probably because I will end up a disgruntled old man saying "...back in my day, folding mirrors were done with your hand! Not this voice-control 'abra-kadabra' crap! Sheesh...young people."

I love parking my car at night, and walking away and looking back at it while my white lights are still on. My car is black so it looks mean yet kinda classy.

You know what, I like that my lights turn off immediately when I close the doors
(For anyone wondering, this is a setting toucan change on the fly if you have Nav, supposedly the dealer can change the time for those folks who do not have Nav)

I need to actually inquire about that next time I'm in. It bugs me when they're left on and I get paranoid.

I will definitely look into this (no Nav). After I turn the car off, I almost always switch the lights off the Auto setting then back to Auto which turns them off.

It's definately got to be SRM.. If that counts as a minor feature.

Love the HUD. Favorite part of my buddies Vette. I know there are some units you can buy, but they use an ugly box that goes on the dash. At least that's what I noticed. Analog speedo it is!

It might sound like a dumb one but I do really like having the extra chargeport under the glovebox that passengers can use while my other is occupied. I thought it was pretty neat the first time i saw it.

As for my minor features that I appreciate:

1) Auto-dimming rearview mirror. This is one of my absolute favorites, having never had one before. It makes night driving so much more comfortable. Now if only the side mirrors also dimmed.

2) The preamp automatically raises/lowers the volume of your music slightly as you speed up/slow down. It's subtle but it works well most of the time. Note: This is for 2009 touring with bose and non-nav. I'm not sure if all models have this.

3) How fast the car both cools down and heats up. It's probably mostly due to the small interior space, but it works really well. It cools the cabin on a hot summer day about 3x faster than any other car I've been in.
