Right chaps, if you were to spec up a new car what would you say your top three must haves would be?
You can ignore engine/power etc.

Re: New Car Spec
spec'ing vs choosing?
choosing would have to have a real comfy driving position with pedals not weirdly offset.
spec'ing.
comfy height adjustable/heated seats
climate control - full climate that has vents for all windows/switches on heated screens etc

Re: New Car Spec
In that case forget the touch screen
But more seriously, the one thing that is rubbish about my Seven is corrosion resistance. I wish someone would make a car like a Fisher Fury weighing 600Kg or so, but with a glass fibre monocoque chassis and ready to take the running gear straight from a Mk3 MX5.
