Tesla Model 3.
It has this "Easy entry" feature that was widely touted- it moves the seat back, has like 17 different motors all working together to do it, pops the seat to normal position the instant you tap the brake to wake it up. I had it on for a year and it worked 99% of the time... but that 1% some motor would lose position and something wasn't right. It'll also crush into whatever is behind it.
It's probably really nice for older folks, but I shut it off and haven't considered it since.
Sunroof...
The dipstick.
In all (some) seriousness, my stuff is old. The feature count is pretty low and what's there may or may not be in service.
MR2: I actively despise the sunroof. It will be deleted someday. Cruise control doesn't work no matter how many times I try. Recirc cable is frozen, so fresh air it is. AC needs a charge.
J20: Everything that works gets used, but there ain't much to it. 4WD gets used probably 15% of the time because of the undignified environment in which i use it. CB barely pulls anything in, and when it does it's some joker with a tinfoil hat and a soapbox. AC doesn't work.
Matrix: About as basic as basic gets, crank windows and all. The feature I don't use is the torque curve. There isn't one.

My heater core went out and I dreaded that project- I know what a pain they are. Then I realized... "Hey, wait a minute! I live in the South, and haven't seen snow for over 20 years. And I have working seat warmers". I tried it. It worked. The seat warmer was all I needed. So I never bothered to fix the heater.
That was 4 years ago. Have never missed it.
As I discovered with my Sentra that took longer to warm up than my drive to work, as long as the windows can roll down, you usually don't need a working defroster.
The car was old enough that it was engineered to drive well with the windows down, so 60mph at 5F wasn't really all that bad.
You anti-sunroof people and I are at odds.
I live in the PNW. If it isn't raining and the sun is shining, my sunroof is open. I need the vitamin D.
Heat on, seat heater on, sunroof open, crisp spring day = perfection.

Me too. Practically across the street from you. But I have fair skin and sensitive eyes and don't really enjoy being blasted with bright sunshine.
And a sunroof always feels like a poor substitute for an open car. My MGB was sheer joy with the top down. Compared to that, driving a car with a sunroof feels like taking a shower in a wetsuit. Given that the sunroof in the AW11 clunks and rattles and tickles my pompadour in the most unsexy way, it just doesn't make the car better.
