Car Features Worth Paying Extra For

Driving is an important part of life for many people, especially those that use their car every day. When you spend a good amount of time behind the wheel, it is always worthwhile spending on a few extra car features that can improve your experience in a few different ways. Here are a couple of extras that are worth splashing out on to improve your driving experience.

Parking Sensors

Do you get stressed while trying to parallel park? Even a confident and experienced motorist can feel stressed while trying to park in a tight spot, but it is made a lot easier with parking sensors. Parking sensors will alert you as you get closer to the vehicle behind you which allows you to reverse with confidence and without having to crane your neck to look out the rear windows.

Bluetooth

If your car does not have it, you should consider investing in Bluetooth connectivity. This can make it a lot easier to integrate your smartphone so that you can listen to music/podcasts, take hands-free calls, send texts by voice and receive alerts from map applications that you are using. 

Spare Tyre

Hopefully you will never have to use it, but it is always a good idea to have a spare tyre in the car (along with the tools to change tyres). This way, you can get yourself back on the road if you ever get a flat. Additionally, if you have a tyre that is approaching the legal minimum tread of 1.6mm then you can make a change without having to worry about driving on an illegal and unsafe tyre.

Heated Seats

Heated seats are a luxury feature, especially in the cold winter months in the UK! It can be miserable getting into the car on a cold winter morning, but heated seats will make it a lot more bearable and help you to quickly warm up each morning. 

Multi-Zone Climate Control

Leading on from this, it can be tough to get the car to a temperature that everyone is happy with at times. Multi-zone climate control is a smart feature that allows each passenger to adjust the temperature of their area allowing everyone to be comfortable (this makes it a great feature for families). 

Fast-Charging USB Ports

These days, everyone has various devices that they use throughout the day. Having fast-charging USB ports in the car allows you to keep these items fully charged throughout the day and can make a big difference to your lifestyle, particularly if you are using GPS and other features that can drain the battery. 

These are a few extras that are worth considering for your vehicle and could make a big difference to your experience behind the wheel, especially if you are someone that drives every day.
