When we reach the showroom to buy a new car, seeing the features available in the top model makes us want to buy it. Big screen, sunroof and many smart features make the car more luxurious. Companies also exaggerate these features. In such a situation, many times we feel that a car with more features would be best. But not every feature needs to be used in your daily usage.

Many times we spend thousands of rupees more for such features, which almost stop being used after some time. Considering the Indian roads, weather and traffic, the utility of some facilities also becomes limited. Let us know about 5 such features, the need of which should be considered before buying.

Sunroof

Nowadays there is a lot of craze for cars with sunroof among Indian consumers. Many people make this feature their first choice while buying a car. However, sunroofs are not easy to use in most parts of India due to extreme heat, dust and pollution. Opening it can also let the cold air inside the car out.

Some people choose a sunroof just to improve the look of the car. But if you use it very rarely, there is no need to spend a lot of money on it. Especially those who drive the car daily in the city should first think about how much they will really need it. Exiting the sunroof in a moving car is extremely dangerous and should not be done.

Car’s in-built navigation system

A navigation system is offered by the company in the top models of many cars. Its function is to show the way, but in some cars it is not so easy to use. Maps often need to be updated and the latest traffic information is not easily available.

At the same time, most people already use Google Maps on their smartphones to find their way. Information about traffic and route changes is also available. In such cases, if your car features Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, the need for a separate navigation system may be reduced.

Gesture control

Some expensive cars have the facility to change the music and increase or decrease the volume with hand gestures. At first glance this feature looks quite modern, but in daily use it is not convenient for everyone.

In comparison, it can be easier to control the music using buttons or knobs on the steering wheel. Hand waving commands while driving can also be distracting. So, think before spending a lot of money to buy this feature because it looks attractive.

Automatic parking assist

With the help of this feature, the car itself can recognize the parking space and help to park the vehicle. But many places in India have less parking space and less space left between vehicles. In such circumstances, this system does not always work as you expect.

Sometimes the system may take longer to recognize the spot and park the car. So, if you frequently park your vehicle in narrow streets or crowded markets, it is important to understand the utility of this feature.

Paddle shifters

Paddle shifters are located behind the steering wheel, with which the driver can change gears. This feature may especially appeal to those who want to enjoy driving by changing the gears themselves.
