What features would you require and would like IF you were buying

>require
manual transmission
>would like
cruise control
auto dimming mirrors
power windows that keep rolling down when you take your finger off the switch
heated seats

I owned a BMW for years, now I own a Miata. Those are the only features the BMW had that I actually miss, especially the dimming mirrors. Shit was cash.

I'm used to a stripper model '96 Passat, so just about anything with a somewhat decent stereo, air conditioning and room for a decent aftermarket head unit will do.
Don't even need power windows, although they're pretty convenient I guess.

And as >>16888060 said, auto dimming mirrors would be nice.

>>16888060
forgot to add that auto headlights are also nice.

>>16888060
Why not install a dimming mirror yourself anon? Shouldn't be too hard on an MX-5.

>>16888076
I have one of those super wide racecar mirrors and I don't know which one I'd like more

>>16888086
Why not both? *Mexican music starts playing*

>Power windows
>decent radio
>good speakers
that's really about it I don't use anything else. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but less electrical shit less gremlins to worry about

This is the closest to it right now.

Air-conditioning and cruise control

Assuming I'm buying a DD and not a fun car or work vehicle:

Require: Air conditioning, power locks and windows, remote car start, good headlights (don't care which type.. Just that they're bright when on bright), Aux input (or BT)

Want: Manual or CVT, Bluetooth, 200+HP, cruise control at all, traction control, automatic braking (literally no downside if it works properly).

Dislike/gimmicky: Cool headlights, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, climate control (the "set a temp" type: they're ALWAYS garbage and you end up manual-ing it anyways), backup cameras (unless you have specific need for it), auto-park.

>>16888047
You've never owned a car with seat heaters.
OR
you don't live somewhere cold.

They're awesome, not gimmicky. Not a necessity but should have added it to my want list.

>>16888146
I'm with him. These aren't common acronyms. If it's not on the first page of google then it objectively does not exist.

>>16888047
> Require
Heating
AC
Traction control/ESP
USB and aux input in the stereo.
Good sound on the stereo
Proper ergonomic design; all the controls in the right place
Good handling at minimum.
Decent acceleration
Heating and AC
Electric windows
Front and rear heated windscreens
5-door, manual petrol engine, 'Large Hatchback' or larger.
Manual handbrake and not electric.

> Would like
No 'automatic' anything; I want to tell it what to do, not have it guess and infer.
Electric seats.
Salesman that doesn't make my skin crawl.
> 150HP

A nice car is an investment in my well-being and self-confidence. I cannot afford to compromise on features that I need.

>>16888363
I had a rental with one. It was good for about 5 minutes. Then my bottom started to feel weird.
