I keep thinking that every car is design with all the necesities in mind for the regular user. But of course each person is different and have different needs. When I had my RAV4, the thing I really wanted to have, was an extra cup holder! That would've make my life a lot easier, since I usually drove long distances with someone else, but since we had only one cupholder, it was me the one that used it. I wonder if there would be a time when you can customized your car the way you can do with your computers, but to the little details like cup holders! What do you think about this? What would you change about the model of tha car you have now?

One thing that all cars need is a volume control that is dependent on the speed of the car and whether the windows are open or not. If the cars are travelling fast, the volume needs to be slightly louder without the person changing it themselves.

That's a good suggestion - nice feature.

I would chance two other things:
- a slightly wider door arm rest so I could actually rest my arm on it without having to lean to the left
- Ipod interface! In a car like the '07 Avalon Limited why would Toyota not have that when they offer satellite radio as an optional plug-in?

I don't have a Tacoma, but I would if there were one that could seat five. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grin.gif)

The things that would changed about my vehicle is the color and the interior fabric texture and color. I don't know but for some reason I want a dark shade of grey for the interior and goldish bronze color for the outside.

The volume thing is cool, but only for a while. I had that in my Yukon, and it actually gets annoying to hit the brakes and have your volume go down.

My husband and I were actually talking about this last night. I think someone should invent a built-in coffee maker. Think of it. You push a button and it bres fresh coffee right into your waiting mug. Maybe you could even add an automatic cream/sugar dispenser!

I'd like powered windows and doors. Also I'd like it to be a stick shift.

The number one change I'd like is something from the past ...having a foot controlled button for high beams/low beams rather than it being on the steering column/blinker switch. God, that was easier.

I can tell you what Id change about the truck I own now. For one, Id design a headgasket that doesnt leak oil! For two, Id design a digital odometer display that doesnt black-out. Id also design a rear window seal that doesnt leak water. All of these problems could EASILY be fixed with better quality control.

I would change those monthly car payments...lol I would love for them to be gone forever. Is that too much for a girl to ask for? :)

haha! That's great. I think I'd change my car payments, too. They are good for your credit if you pay them on time, though, so I think I'd just change them to about $1 a month instead of getting rid of them altogether... :) lol.

LOL touche :) I always have depression after I purchase a car, when I think about how long I will be paying for it. But it wears off after a while and I am glad that I did it :)
