Must Have Interior Features

Car technology is out to dazzle like never before: voice-activated or touch-screen navigation systems, 12.7-GB hard drives, and memory seating that heats up in three different temperatures.

It's easy to loose site of the forest because of genuine African Rosewood interior trim. 

Since the amount of time we spend in our vehicles makes the car payment feel more like a second rent, these home-away-from-homes need to be comfortable and convenient. You might be sold on a crossover with a banging Rockford Fosgate 10-speaker audio system, but a week later you could develop back pain because of poorly designed seats. How can we enjoy the little things in life like radar blind spot detection if we don't have radar on our basic interior car needs?

The more interior features in new cars change, the more some interior features need to stay the same – or improve. Here are interior features you should focus on as well as how to test for the best. We've also included recommended vehicles.

Versatile climate control system

You want dual-zone or 3-zone climate control systems, especially if you are looking at a larger vehicle that can have up to three rows. Second and third row passengers will appreciate access to their own temperature dials – so will you, as fiddling with the center console dials to keep everyone comfortable is a major driving distraction. At the very least, look for dials with a grading degree of warm or coolness levels; not so much a dial set on just four or five options. Recommended vehicles: 2008-2009 Toyota Camry; 2009 KIA Borrego.
