I was also happy without A/C in a vehicle until ca. 1970 and living in the deep south. I could do perfectly well without some of these new-fangled gizmos, but I prefer to select some that make my life easier and better. I also was fine without seat belts and when they began appearing in my cars, I stuffed them under the seat to get them out of the way--as did almost everybody I knew. I hated air bags too. I still haven't had one explode in my face, but I'm mostly glad they are there. |

No a/c. Crank windows. Vents that you have to open by hand. FM radio and 8track player. Foot operated windshield washer. 4 speed with a heavy clutch pedal. Now that's a driver's car.

... I remember when landline were just fine, who the heck needs a cell phone; kids these days.
Lol guys I get it and I can relate. We like our Z for its analog style and i avoid threads lamenting the Z as "outdated". However Im both old *and* a geek, so I don't share the view that new tech is inherently bad. NAV, cruise, VDC etc all good for me. Adaptive cruise sound goods too and I have not experienced it yet, so I'm curious but my curiosity is not related to the Z

AC, and music in some way, shape, or form. I don't care if it's an 8 track.

Auto headlights negate it, but in older or lower optioned cars without it, I really liked it, too. Hands free. I prefer the autodim though. Is best. Add that to my list, lol

a button to press and the curb side exterior mirror will turn downward so I can see how far my car is from the curb.
and maybe a rearview camera for patking, but not a must. otherwise I don't need any driving aid, I drive the car, not the computer n sensors. |

Titan has a great “bird’s eye view” (composite of cameras around the vehicle), which is really useful when berthing that aircraft carrier. I do appreciate this feature, as tailgates have become taller and trucks longer/wider over the years. When the cameras aren’t slimed over from road grime, that is.

It also tilts both outside mirrors slightly down when shifted into reverse. I was surprised at how much easier that makes things. Neither of those are "must have" but I do concede that they are nice. |
