As in, all of your vehicles, that you owned, what feature did all of them have? Every vehicle I've ever had, had power windows and locks. I've never had a vehicle that didn't at least have those. Most of my vehicles have also had at least a power driver's seat, except for two of them. It's hard to find a car that doesn't have PW or PL anymore, at least in the states. They used to be luxury features way back when, but now they're pretty standard. Funny how things change.

Not all of my vehicles, but I've always owned a car with a power adder.

Stick shift. Three 5 speeds and one 6'er

Every car I've owned has had power steering and vacuum boosted brakes.

Three-point seat belts too, now that I think about it.

All of my vehicles have had...hmm. Shit. Brakes. And an engine? I can't even say disc brakes since the XJ had drums out back. Door either because the CJ never came with them.

Tires. All of my vehicles had tires on them.

My Truck has power steering, power brakes, a Factory LSD with 3.55 gears, 5 Speed manual, An AM/FM Dolby Digital Stereo with tape, heat and A/C. Thats it, I dont need anything else. I have no power windows and no central locking

I've been spoiled. I've always had and now will always need:

1. AWD
2. Sunroof
3. Heated Seats

I've only had/have 1 manual transmission, but that's actually now become a requirement for me.

Same here, except one extra 5-speed.

I was expecting someone to make that comment. And egads man, you have owned a lot of vehicles! Once I pick up my Infiniti, I'll only be at #9. But then again, that's only since late 2009.

turnkey ignition

oh and spark plugs! numbers varied, but they were there.

Every one of them had some way of exposing your head to the sky (two sunroofs, one convertible)

A manual gearbox, 4 seats, a steering wheel, 4 wheels + a spare, some glass and sheet metal, an engine, ummmm...

A Merc CLK and a Fiat 126p don't have that much in common. I can't even say that all of my cars have assisted brakes.

Leather seats, AWD/4WD, heated seats, Either a V8 or a Turbo'd 5 cylinder, a sunroof, power seats, and a CD player. That's not just my car, that's everything I have ever driven.

I'm not sure I can say all mine had power steering. I drove my mom's 65 mustang for a while. It was never mine but I pretended it was. No power steering.

Seatbelts. Sort of.

Funktheduck > WesBarton89 - The Way to Santa Fe
02/02/2015 at 16:53

The only thing mine have had in common is they all had stuff that people think of when they think "car/truck".

Most had power windows/locks. That's about all feature wise some have shared.

All are front engined. There's that. All but 2 rwd

Steering wheels. My list isn't quite as long as 505s, but similarly diverse. Although only one of them, recently bought at that, is an automatic.

Power steering. I've had standard windows in some and even unassisted brakes, but never unassisted steering. Thank god..

All of my cars have had power windows and locks, although half of the windows didn't work on one of them. Besides that, they all had engines. And brakes.

A more interesting list would be what they didn't all have.

-Airbags
-Power steering
-Disk brakes
-Safety
-A roof
-TCS
-Power windows/locks
-Cup holders

Two of my cars is seriously adding a lot to this list in the way of what they didn't have that others did.

Sunroof and heated seats are extremely nice to have.

A heater and a heated rear window missing a few wires.

A radio.

My first two had manual steering. This was fine in one (small car, rwd), not so much in the other (fwd).

Cé hé sin > Hey, y'all, watch this!
02/02/2015 at 17:17

That's good. My first started if you used the fanbelt to turn the engine to a point where the starter would engage.

A speedometer? Although not necessarily a working one.

Mine have all been pretty different. Plus, my MGA's spartan nature means that I can't really claim much in common between all my cars. Not even a roof, heater, or really even much of an interior besides a pair of seats and some instruments.

Excluding that, though, all my cars have had engines of 3.5 litres or smaller. FWD and RWD are fairly equally represented, as are cylinder counts of 4, 5, 6 and 8, and automatic vs. manual transmission. If we exclude the Triumph 2500 that I got as a hand-me-down from my parents, they've all been either fastback-style hatchbacks or station wagons, too.

Let's see, aside from the common things (lights, doors, tires, etc): stick shift, heater, driver and passenger side mirrors, power brakes, fore-and-aft seat adjustment, driver airbag, fuel and temp gauges, and fuel injection. That's about it.

Doors? A windshield? 4 wheels?

I've had cars/trucks without radios, PW, PL, cruise, carpet, bucket seats, etc.

My '99 Intrigue and '98 Millenia both had traction control, but you could turn it off with a button. I rarely used them.

E92M3 > WesBarton89 - The Way to Santa Fe

1 of mine now doesn't even have seatbelts, a radio, or wipers.

They've all had seats, and a steering wheel though.

Trunk release? Maybe not a feature, but all have had headliners and pilars that match the bottom half of the interior. I actually kinda hate when they make the top half of the interior a lighter color to make it seem more spacious and roomy. They're not fooling me, and I am ok with my car's interior feeling confining.

The only thing my 2 cars have had between the two of them is automatic transmissions. Other than the standard things like lights, wheels, an engine etc.

I'm 55 years old.....since I've been 16 I've owned 7 cars....that comes out to 5.7 years per car but I've only owned my current car for a year....so I guess we can flush that statistic right down the toilet.

-used 1968 Beetle -bought in 1976 for 700 dollars

-used 1973 Maverick (loaded...with every option available) bought in 1978 for 2 grand

- new 1980 Ford Fairmont (complete stripper) bought for 4200 dollars.

-new 1988 Ford Tempo (had air con and not much else.) bought for 9600 bucks

-new 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager (mid level- AC plus a few options) regretted buying this turd the moment the transaxle shit the bed less then 1000 miles out of warranty. Bought it for around 19K.

-used 2003 Ford Taurus with the 24 valve motor....completed loaded, it was a used Verizon company car with 170k and a full service history-most of the car was replaced at one point or the other, the dealer didn't realize the car had a full service history in the glove box-stole this car for 2 grand. Bought this in 2009 when I found out it would cost over 2 grand to fix the AC in the van. sold the van for 2500 bucks, both my kids learned to drive in it.....it had body damage on every panel except the roof, plus it had a dirty CarFax because I did 3 grand worth of damage to it when I rear-ended someone.

-bought a new 2014 Hyundai Elantra last March, one level below top of the line....first car that I've had with heated *cloth* seats-the Taurus had heated leather seats.......I don't really like leather seats. The one option out of all the cars I've owned that I miss the most are the adjustable pedals on the Taurus.....every car should have them.

We also have my dad's 2000 Saturn SL2 with 70K miles on it and he checked off *all* the options when he bought it...he passed away 4 years ago and I inherited it. My son drives it...it's cost us about a grand in assorted repairs (not bad for a 15 year old car) in the last 4 years...it's a buzzy shitbox that has a plastic interior that every single piece resonates at different pitches in different point in the rev range. My son isn't a car person......he plans to keep it and maintain it until it doesn't make sense to fix it...he's a strictly Point "A" to Point "B" kinda guy.

Me? I'm a car guy, but I ain't getting my mid-life crisis car until he's out of college and moved out........I'll need his garage spot for my dune buggy :-)

CD player, AM/FM radio, satellite radio capability (not paid for in either car), OnStar (also not active), AC, power windows/locks, sunroof, stick shift, ABS, forced induction (counting this since their lower trim levels are N/A.)

The 06 has an auto-dim rear mirror, while the 12 has heated seats and an AUX input.
