Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | |
Unlock and lock the car using buttons on the keyfob. | |
Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | |
Rear disc brakes. | |
Only listed when pricing a single model because insufficient data for all cars. | |
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 | |
Large storage area beneath the load floor, often compartmentalized. | |
Climate Control | |
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. | |
Exterior | |
Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | |
Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | |
Infotainment | |
Jack for an iPod or similar device. No value because of incomplete data. Will soon be standard on nearly every car. | |
Includes CD player. | |
Integrates an iPod with the vehicle's controls and speakers. Usually included if there is a USB port, but can also rely on a proprietary port. | |
Audio system capable of playing discs with MP3 files. | |
XM or Sirius. Includes a subscription for three to six months, after which monthly fees apply. | |
No value because no way to compare across models. | |
Instruments, Lights, and Mirrors | |
Light wide area close in front of the vehicle. | |
Includes value of manual remote mirrors. | |
Reports engine speed. | |
Reports average fuel economy, and perhaps also instantaneous fuel economy, distance to empty, average speed, and other stats. | |
Seats and Interior Trim | |
Seat folds to enlarge cargo area. Unless the seat is also removable, it usually folds flat or nearly flat. | |
Suspension, Wheels, and Tires | |
Lug nuts that can only be removed using a special key. Prevents theft of wheels. |
