Inspired by the "automatic versus manual" thread, I'd like to know what you consider extra (luxury) equipment that a car just has to have in order to please you.
I think a car must have:
1. air condition
2. decent radio with good speakers
3. cd changer
4. electric window lift
5. on-board computer (for fuel burn etc., not a PC)
6. Xenon headlights
In addition to that, it should have electrically moving seats with memory if to be driven by various people.

a car must have
1) 4 wheels
2) an engine
More seriously:
* enough space to carry people AND their luggage (in some cars, you have 7 seats. But in this case, forget about any luggage)
* CD changer, radio
* electric windows
* No air conditionning
On this list, the only thing I don't have in my Corsa is space... But for the price I paid it, that's OK

Let's start from the basics -
4 doors
AUTOMATIC! - I can't drive a manual and have no desire to learn.
Space inside
That's about it. Here in Colorado I drive and SUV, and believe me, after blizzard of 2003 I am glad I do. If you ever want to get to rwy 8/26 both sides, SUV is a way to go. If you ever want to go camping over continental divide, SUV is a nice thing to have.

Money does not bring you happiness. But it's better to cry in your own private limo than on a cold bus stop.

you know, it's not all that hard to drive a manual. i actually find automatis a pain in the ass. you have to floor it to get it to downshift and the stupid shifter on the column idea. (who thought of that anyway?)
as for suv's, people wonder why it's hot as hell. keep spewing out more exhaust from your car, we'll drown ourselves!

A truck to save it from the sand. True where I live.
I want a vehicle (truck) wtih A/C and an AM/FM/cassette/CD. That's it, No power anything. OK, it is a king cab, gets at least 23 MPG and has alloy wheels. Gee, I have that.
The trash hauler gets 14 MPG, no windows, no radio, no A/C and no brakes. But damn the beast, after 28 years and 390000 miles, I can't just let her go.
What is it with all the "is there a possibilty airline X will.." threads? The answer it'll is possible.

People like you just worsen Polish peoples images...take your green party agenda to the Nader headquarters. Thats possibly the dumbest sentence ive heard on these forums for a while now.

"i'm not green, i'm practical! people don't need a 400hp 8.4L V10 to go from work to home!
give me any car with a 170+ hp engine and a decent maual transmission. they're jsut as good!"
You just said we will drown because of SUVs. That is not being practical, its just a stupid statement based on no facts...What the heck is a 400hp 8.4L V10..if your going to make something up at least make it realistic ffs
