What is your must have car tech?

This infiltration of tech nannies in modern vehicles just pisses me off. People are just getting more and more distracted while driving and the car manufacturers are facilitating this attitude

This infiltration of tech nannies in modern vehicles just pisses me off. People are just getting more and more distracted while driving and the car manufacturers are facilitating this attitude by making these nannies standard on vehicles now. Not to mention, the responsible drivers subsidizing these tech changes. I can't option out of all those bs features which means I'm paying for a bunch of shìt that I not only don't want at all but also feel are facilitating poor driving habits


My must haves are a stick shift and not having to pay for a bunch of worthless features I'll never use. Looks like the Z might be my last new car purchase, frankly

I don't think I could enjoy another stick shift without SynRev now that I've been using it for 8 years.

One of the things I really like about the 370z design is that presents a stripped down interface (analog gauges, simple stereo, no HUD or lane assistance or blind spot assistance etc), but it's not. Between the ECU and the VDC, it's a really smart car in all the right places, without interfering with the driving experience.
mikeb and ZCanadian like this.

The perfect Z is base or touring WITHOUT nav and an aftermarket sound system.
