It's easy to add some things, difficult for others. I'm interested in adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, and possibly lane keep assist, but those items aren't easy to add after the fact. I don't have any use for built in NAV, and prefer manual seats over electric (they are too slow).

I'm just sayin', if I buy something that depreciates thousands of dollars the moment I drive away, it had better be the exact vehicle I'm looking for.
