Useless luxuries

Im going to list some useless luxuries I can live without:

1. Cardholders above the window. Please!
2. Automatic seats for rear passengers. Way way too slow. Even for grandma to get in and out.
3. Dual Temperature Gauge. Rarely if ever does the passenger want it colder or warmer.
4. Visor extend. I can see the need, but really never used it.

Can anyone think of anything else?

I disagree with 3 and 4. While not essential, both are useful and very useful, respectively, at times.

I use 3 and 4 more than I thought I ever would actually. I couldn't agree more with 1. I am going to replace it with another handle I think very soon. I hate when new people sit in the car and say "what the hell is a card holder?"

Oh and I forgot to add mine to the list

*** warmers for the seats... I am in CA and that is something I have NEVER used....

I never have understood what this is used for. What would you put in there?

my girl uses the seat heaters all the time, they're more than helpful and we live in SoCal as well.

all my girls have loved it. Even my boys girlfriend would call shotgun and make him sit in the back just so she could have the heated seat.
