What would make your car better?

After last week:

REMOTE START!!!

(I did ask about it while I was having my oil change last night, but that's $450 I don't have especially since taking a 15% pay cut at work)

Telescoping steering wheel would be good too. For the opposite reason of WELDRWOMN's.

I'm short and have short legs. In my decline they seem to be getting shorter. If I have the seat up to where it is the most comfortable I am hugging it.

Me too. I have to hug the steering wheel, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the peddles.

Power locks, power windows, and that's about it!

remote start, definitely! I always have my window open a crack, I get claustrophobic or something and the rain always runs in, so they could have designed that a little better and my car has a CD player, but sometimes it won't eject and I have to fight with it, but other than those things, my car fits my needs great!

I can't really gripe too much about either of our vehicles. My big thing is that I wish that both of them had adjustable pedals - my legs are very short and I have to crank the seat all the way up to reach. My van it's not too bad, though I sit way too close to the steering wheel when I drive it; the car, well....I'm driving the car with my toes even with the seat all the way up.

Both of them could use engines that make far more horsepower. (the van makes 150, and the car makes somewhere between 115-120)

Paint, paint, paint. My van suffers from living in Florida sun all of its life, and the car....the car is half in primer.

I can't complain much either. I have a Sentra that DH won in a raffle and he gave it to me. The best kind of car is a free one! And I LOVE it, too, so that makes it doubly awesome. If I could make a few changes, though, it would be:

A remote start and door opener
Heated seats, especially this month
A hybrid engine

heated seats, leather seats, better gas mileage

Two words: Warp Drive

Well, being almost 20 years old there are a lot of things like the passenger window, fuel economy, the cruise control... And it could sit a little lower.

Oh, yeah! And phasers for those wreckless drivers out there.

1. Not a Buick
2. CD player (old cassette player)
3. console shifter (the steering column shifter in this car stinks.)

What's XM Radio?

a remote start
satellite radio
stereo system

i drive a highly modified honda s2000.... only thing I want is a mugen front sway bar.. then im done for a while lol.

maybe a hardtop for winter but who cares.

Being able to run on cat hair!!!!

Seriously, I would love to have better fuel economy, or better yet, a hybrid.

If I had unlimited funds, I'd have a smallish hybrid for every day (work, errands, what have you), something a little bigger but still hybrid or fuel-efficient for winter or things like helping people move, a convertible for fun, and a motorcycle for even more fun!

The only thing that would make my car better is if it were a minivan and had more seats. LOL It would make it so much easier for me to get a nanny position if I had more seats in order to transport children. At the moment I can comfortably only fit two carseats in the back, and no other children can sit back there. I currently have a Dodge Stratus.

I drive a 1998 GMC Jimmy and while I love this car to death there are a few things that would make it better.

1) Another color leather interior(black is horrid in the summer and you stick to it when you wear shorts).
2) Better fuel mileage(though I average 18-20 mpg around here)
3) I should get the side and back bumper repainted. The side has some long(pretty much bumper to bumper) scratches along it from a run in with a tree while off roading. And the back bumper...well it suffers from being on a college campus for 5 years. Lots of nicks in the pant from where people have hit me while parallel parking.

a self cleaning feature and a self parking feature and a I am parked here one

I have a 2006 Subaru tribeca and love it

What would make my car better.......
If it was new!

Also a Sparco 5 point harness....



And a Sparco steering wheel
