Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||
Rear disc brakes. | ||
Automatically pulse the brakes in hard stops to prevent wheels from locking up, making it possible to brake and steer at the same time. | ||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||
Mandatory, in all cars. | ||
Airbags contained just above the window level. Except in cars without a rear seat usually cover first and second row. | ||
Selectively applies the brakes to prevent excessive understeer or oversteer (spinning). | ||
Two types: a warning light when a tire is low on air and a pressure readout for each tire. | ||
When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||
Cargo Management | ||
Climate Control | ||
Maintains set temperature in front row. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||
Temperature can be separately set for left and right sides of the passenger compartment. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||
Filters exterior air before it enters the passenger compartment. No default value because most cars have them, even in cases where they're not in the official list of features. | ||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | ||
Drivetrain | ||
When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||
Engine / Motor | ||
Changes sound of exhaust and/or appearance of the tips. In some cases might slightly improve performance. | ||
Exterior | ||
Side skirts and possibly a front air dam and rear apron. | ||
Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | ||
Spoiler mounted beneath the nose of the car, to increase downforce. | ||
Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | ||
Infotainment | ||
Touchscreen and/or voice control over apps that can include online search, Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, OpenTable, and MovieTickets.com. Requires connected compatible phone. Fees may apply after first three years. | ||
Jack for an iPod or similar device. No value because of incomplete data. Will soon be standard on nearly every car. | ||
