Cars these days have so many extras that it is difficult to figure out what is a need and what is a want. You can easily be a little overwhelmed when you take a look at everything you could put your hands on when you buy a new or used car and some extras can actually make resale value a lot higher. To make your choice a little bit easier, let’s take a look at some extras that are truly great.
Cooled And Healed Seats
As long as you respect car seat law in Massachusetts, everything goes with your seats. So, why not opt for cooled and heated options? In the past, this was an option you couldn’t have received unless you bought luxury cars. Nowadays, it is available with several much more affordable cars. While cooled seats are not appreciated by everyone, heated seats are definitely a great addition.
Metallic Paint
This is a good extra because it looks great and also increases resale value. The only thing is you have to be careful when you choose if your goal is to get more when you eventually resell the car. You can stand out with something like tangerine orange, but this is not appreciated by many potential buyers. Something more subtle is usually better.
Panoramic Roof
Glass ceilings are perfect for atmosphere as they let the light come in and the entire interior will seem more upmarket and spacious. While this is not an extra available for most cars, if you can get it, you want to take it into account.
Leather Upholstery
As opposed to the previous option, which is rarely available, leather upholstery is almost always available as an extra for new cars you buy. It can be expensive but when the budget allows it, take it into account. When the budget is lower, you can also consider leather-faced upholstery, which sees leather used only on the front part of the seat area and the backrest. Regardless of what you choose, a great extra thing to remember about leather upholstery is that it is easier to clean, which is always good to have.
Automatic Gearbox
In the past, this was considered as being an extra people who couldn’t drive had. In reality and right now, automatic gearboxes are very useful, especially when you do a lot of driving in bigger cities filled with congestions. Many of the modern cars with automatic gearboxes have some great extras associated with them, like eco modes that enhance fuel efficiency. Remember that automatic technology, in general, is very useful and can be taken into account when you shop around and want more comfort.
Hands-Free Boot
Do you often find yourself looking for your keys as you carry heavy shopping bags? If so, you surely appreciate the comfort offered by a hands-free boot. The same goes for owners with small children. The automatic tailgate on cars with this feature means you just swing the foot under the bumper. Then, the boot opens. After fully understanding how great this convenience is, it will be very difficult to get back to the conventional boot.
