What “significant” feature of your automobile do you seldom-if-ever use? I don’t know what it cost to put the sunroofs in my last few cars but I’d have much rather had the cash! ---

You could sell the sunroof on Craigslist. 😃 ---

I hope to never use the airbags. I don’t use the AC or the radio. I hope I don’t have to use the warning flashers but I have in the past. I’ve got an alarm that only goes off when I accidentally hit the panic button on the fob, not sure if anything else would set it off. I see plenty of drivers who aren’t going to wear out the turn signals. ---

My current car is the first that I’ve ever owned with a backseat. And in the seven years of owning this car, I’ve had someone in the back maybe five times. I do t thin’ I’ve ever used the AM radio. The CD player still has the disc in it that I put in it to make sure it worked on my first day of ownership. Don’t believe I’ve listened to a whole track. I have a rear fog light that I’ve never used other than to prove it comes on. ---

Definitely the sunroof. Also the GPS, as it’s quite clunky. Mazda really fell down on that one. ---

My car automatically locks the back seat door locks, like, all the time. I find that annoyingly inconvenient. ---

Those grips on the steering wheel at ten and two. Never used 'em. My knees can’t reach that high. ---

Although I love most aspects of the Toyotas that I have owned, the bluetooth software autoplays whatever music it can find on your phone every time it first connects, and every time a phone call ends. It’s the most ridiculous, annoying and dangerous thing, and there is _no way to stop it_. Many online threads on the subject attest to this. Toyota blames Apple, and it would of course be helpful if the Apple OS included a “disable autoplay” option. But, Jeebus, that’s utter bullshit. If _I_ can stop the autoplayed music by hitting the “stop” button, I rather think that indicates Toyota could write their software to do the same. ---

Man, any time I’ve gotten a rental without the sunroof, it’s kind of annoyed me; all of a sudden I’ve lost a good chunk of my view. Can’t imagine not having one (and it’s always open when the temp is low enough)… ---

To get the electronics features that I wanted on my car, I had to get the version that has a “moonroof”. I didn’t want one. have never used it and never plan on using it. The good news is that it (currently) seems to be rain-proof when closed. ---

I love the idea of a sunroof, but mainly I only use to to cool the car down when it is sitting in the sun. ---

Sunroof? Am I a peasant? Moonroofs are the classy ones. I only remember to use it every couple of years. I am currently using it but don’t feel that it greatly enhances my life. ---

Cruise control. I tried one on the car once and hated it and I disconnected the unit on the one motorcycle. My wife will sometimes use the cruise on the car but I just don’t like it or really want it. ---

The heating/cooling system in my 2000 Buick. I much prefer the system in my 2001 Ranger. On/off, hot /cold, much easier to deal with. ---

Do not sell the sunroof without giving serious consideration to how you will fill the empty space to keep rain and snow from coming in. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > I love the idea of a sunroof, but mainly I only use to to cool the car down when it is sitting in the sun. Yep. But rarely as I don’t live in that hot of a climate. To get the upgraded stereo on my 2006 Pathfinder, I had to get a sunroof. To me, it’s just another point of failure that I very very rarely use. I’ve never driven with it open. Too distracting. Adds weight and complexity. ---

I have to agree with **Chefguy** , the navigation system in my Mazda is almost useless. I just run Google Maps on my phone instead. Based on my observations on the Beltway, I’d say a lot of drivers feel that their turn signal is useless.
