Giver the chance to design my own car, I pondered what gadgets I would install. My conclusion was:
air con (not for me. Open a window)
manual box (yep)
fuel injection and electronic ignition (prefer carbs, but like electronic ignition)
memory seats - swmbo being 1 foot shorter than me (no, I have a manual forward/back and a recline lever)
cruise control (no)
abs (no)
full wishbone suspension (nice to have but not essential, just a reasonable set up so I don't have to slow down for corners)
And thats it. I dont want engine modes. I dont want menus and screens, I dont want coloured interior lights or lane assist, I dont want infotainment, (agreed, just a reasonable stereo for those boring traffic moments. My Mrs VW has a touch screen thingy and I reckon it's dangerous as you have to take your eyes off the road so that you can press the right part of the screen. On mine, I can reach down without looking and click a switch on/off or turn a dial. I understand that VW have dropped the screen this year due to similar issues.)
In fact I guess what I want is a new car from the 1990s. (1980's for me. And that's what I drive every day and have a weekend car from the 70's)
