I was thinking more of diminished performance in electrically powered cars, rather than those that just use the batter for starting, as you can still start a car with a battery that can only hold 50% peak charge.Quote:

And things like automatic climate control, heated seats, automatic windshield wipers and even cruise control would seldom, if ever, be used by me. Many of the options on my XK8 never get used. Like 555 said, more electronic gizmos just means more to go wrong (usually the day after the warranty runs out). All that said, I would kind of like to have Bluetooth in my next car.
Probably the least-used gadget on our minivan is the cruise control :mark: .
Oh, and that silly digital compass direction readout on the rear-view mirror :s .
