Living with it

Power steering, fixed under used-car guarantee. Water leak, possibly thru sunroof. Little electronic things.

My wife likes it. No way would I have bought it otherwise.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The car is full of useless gadgets (rain-sensor, rear-view camera, satnav - I prefer my stick-on satnav). Worst is the electronic handbreak, linked to the seatbelt, a crime in a 4-wheel-drive car. What buffoon designs these things?
