Back in the old days, when technology was limited, people could still make due without modern day conveniences that we have on offer today. People relied on maps and road signs to get around and dressed appropriately according to the weather, now we can change all of that by the touch of a button.
To a certain extent we have become accustom to these conveniences as most of them come standard in your vehicle. But people have become so dependent on these luxuries that they say they cannot go on without them. Here is a list of the top add-ons that people say they can’t live without.
GPS Satellite Navigation
A few years ago we were still reliant on physical maps and boards to guide us from point A to B, but thanks to technology we have access to satellite navigation where our routes get worked out for us, and getting lost is practically a thing of the past. A lot of cars have GPS systems pre-installed, but portable units are available so people still have the flexibility to edit and change as they please. Nowadays GPS systems have bluetooth connectivity and other improvements, making every day navigating easier and easier.
Heated Seats
Another add-on which is becoming seamlessly more popular are heated seats, although some cars do come with this option pre-installed, a lot of people feel that it is an option that they need and cannot drive without.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Monitors
Some car companies are including advanced systems that alert drivers when objects are nearby. A lot of people do struggle with parallel parking, and this option reduces the stress and helps people drive and park more confidently.
Spoilers
This is one way of giving your car a sporty look, if that’s what you’re into. It’s usually a cheaper option for car enthusiasts, and if done right it can add a touch of flamboyancy to your ride.
If your budget is really tight, then don’t fear, you can always improvise…
Refrigerator/Freezer
This might seem like a pointless add-on, but people have become used to storing their ice creams and cold drinks in the refrigerator while on long journeys or stuck in traffic. It’s nice to have cold liquids and snacks when the pit stops are few and far.
All these add-ons and improvements for our cars are great, but be careful when choosing accessories for your car, make sure that it suits your needs and that when the time comes you will be able to attract buyers. You need to take into consideration the long term effect that these modifications will have.
