Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||
Rear disc brakes. | ||
If active, automatically move forward when the vehicle is rear-ended. Note: becoming less common. | ||
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. | ||
Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | ||
Rearview camera connected to display screen on the instrument panel. Often requires navigation system. | ||
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 | ||
Unlike a conventional differential, a Torsen mechanically shifts torque to the wheel with the most traction. Unlike a conventional limited-slip differential, it doesn't have to lock to do this. | ||
Exterior | ||
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. | ||
Underbody shields to improve fuel economy. (Optional, no standard value because might or might not be present on other models.) | ||
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. | ||

Measures and displays lateral acceleration. Some also measure and display 0-60, quarter mile, etc. | ||
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. | ||
Seating surfaces are trimmed in leather; other upholstery tends to be leatherette. | ||
Suede-like trim on the door panels. | ||
Seating surfaces are part leather, part synthetic suede. | ||
Seating surfaces are part cloth or vinyl, part synthetic suede. | ||
