What's most practical about your car?

The back space once folded seats down although it quite a narrow car - great for driving round town.

Electric and heated seats ! Cruise control The glove box that turns into a fridge. Parking sensors are really useful. The fact I can plug my Ipod in, there's an Aux. socket. And the Bluetooth to connect my phone - works fantastically.
