Probably the sole most moneymaker in the auto industry are
the add-on features. Yes, we all know that if you live in LA, you’re going to
want a sunroof, and that’s going to cost you a ridiculous $2,000+ dollars. Or if you live in Boston,
what’s a car without seat heaters? So maybe those are reasonable requests, but
it’s the odd things that make your car bill go from $20,000 to $32,000. Think
again. Do you really need all those extra features? Ehh…. maybe not.
Well, here are the top 5 most ridiculous car features that
you really don’t need.
Seriously, what is the point? It’s ugly, and we know it’s
fake.
4 – The Vinyl Top
If it’s not a convertible, there doesn’t need to be anything
of the roof.
3 – Pinstripes
Installed at the dealer as a way to mark up the price.
Not only do they cost you extra, they actually detract from the lines of the
car. If your not driving a custom hot-rod you don’t need pinstripes
2 – The Push-Button Start
Most of us do not drive race cars. This rather
pointless device, tends to just add an extra step to starting up your
car. Sure it looks cool, but that is about it’s only function.
1 – The Automatic Seatbelt
Mandated in the late 80’s when passive restraints became a
law. These seat belts were good in theory, except for the fact that the
lap belt was no part of the program. Without a proper lap restraint,
these automatic belts were essentially useless. They tended to break
easily, and often strangled you if you open the door and stuck your head out.
