When you buy a sports car, what sets it apart from other vehicles and makes it worth
the extra cash, is the amount of features it has to make the driving experience more pleasurable.
Some manufacturers fill their vehicles with all sorts of gadgets and appliances that have little or no practical use. However, some luxury features are incredible and really do affect the ride quality and overall experience of driving. Here are our top five suggestions for features that no sports car can do without.
1. Remote keyless entry
If you add up all the time you spend fumbling around for your keys in your bag or pockets, you would waste hours over the course of your life. A remote keyless system allows you to get in and start the car, as long as you have the keys on your somewhere or simply press a button on the remote. This is especially important when getting into your car in dimly lit or slightly dodgy areas. It’s a very reassuring safety feature.
2. Anti lock brakes
Having the power to stop quickly and safely is crucial for ride safety. There is no better system for doing this than having ABS. They work by pumping the brakes at incredible speeds, increasing the traction of the wheel and allowing you to stop on a sixpence. Many accidents are prevented and lives saved by this one safety feature alone.
3. Rear DVD player
You love your kids but they really are a nuisance when you’re in the car and trying to drive. If only you had something to keep them distracted; which is exactly why a rear DVD player is such an amazing feature.
We all remember what it was like to be stuck in the back of the car for hours on end, so just imagine what it would have been like to watch your favorite film.
4. GPS navigation
Getting lost, especially when you’re late is incredibly frustrating. With a GPS, however, you never need get lost again. This little beauty will tell you where you are and where you are going at all times; which means an end to those nasty arguments about who was supposed to be reading the map or know the way.
5. Side impact airbags
Many accidents, especially many serious ones, involve being hit from the side. This is one of the most vulnerable areas of the car so having side impact airbags is very reassuring indeed. Knowing that you and your loved ones are as safe as possible in the car is one of the greatest luxuries there is, and definitely worth every penny.
