We asked you what features aren't standard on all cars but should be, and the answers ranged from the sensible to the hilarious! Here are our favourites...

An EMP device that shuts down all wireless connections in the area. No more texting and driving. - Turbo Toddler
2. Pop-ups FTW!
Pop. Up. Headlights. - On The Apex
3. Save the manuals
Manual gearbox!!! - Benjavick
4. LSD should be mandatory
LSD…and not the drug. That has saved me from getting swallowed whole by snow. - Matticus Finch
5. Not safe, but very convenient
A microwave so I can make my food in the car and don’t have to rush out the door all the time after waiting for my food to heat up. - Mike Hummel

Dislock, duh?
I came to the comments to see if they posted. I’m actually disappointed.
Can you send me that gif
Why would you want to turn ABS off ?? You would need longer distance to brake in extreme conditions.
Some people genuienly think that turning ABS off will help them to go faster
I mean yeah purists might enjoy pumping the brake pedal, but I personally see no evil in ABS..
That’s not really true. ABS does not shorten the brake distance per se.
It prevents lockups and gives you more control by making it possible for you to steer while braking.
My 1987 Audi has an early system that you can turn off. Audi has done this with ski vacations in mind. On snow and ice ABS can actually be a drawback. The system kind of goes haywire in very slippery conditions, constantly putting the brakes on and off and actually increasing braking distances.
For #6 (Anti-Nag Feature) add girlfriend to that list
Ctzens aint got girlfriends
Because a manual S-Class/Maybach/Eldorado would make so much sense…
Number 1 would be bad in event of a crash and annoying for passengers
There was a guy who had a cell jammer in his car for #1, I think he went to jail for like 5 years or so. #1 is never gonna be a thing because it’s a federal offense to block cell signals I think
how bout you adding your sub human passenger to the anti nag deactivation feature?
First one is stupid because passengers would like to use their phones
Actually, when you are driving, nothing should distract you from driving your car. Driving a car is a passion, and nothing could ruin a passion more than a phone call or a text message. Plus, texting and talking on the phone while driving is illegal, unless a bluetooth hands-free device is used. But still, driving needs 100% of your attention.
Even clarkson still likes manual
Is he driving on the Fast & Furious runway? lol
