5 unnecessary auto options that people overpay for in vain

A car is a rather complicated thing, and therefore expensive. Despite the latter circumstance, it is very difficult for an adult to do without a personal vehicle in our time. Especially if you live in a big city and have to travel to work virtually from one end of it to the other. Buying a new car is always a challenge first of all for your own wallet. It should be borne in mind that some of the additional options in the vehicle should be immediately abandoned.

1. Traffic Sign Recognition System

A system that is very popular in the West. Its name speaks for itself. However, it was only smoothly with the recognition algorithm at the stage of the drawing board. The systems do not perform well in rainy and foggy weather. That is why giving up to 3 thousand dollars for a "smart" trinket, on which in the conditions of domestic winter and autumn, most likely it will not be possible to rely at all is not the best idea.

2. Exchange rate stability system

There will be no great benefit on domestic roads. / Photo: belgee.by.

In fairness, it should be noted that the stability control system makes some sense if the motorist often drives long distances on highways with good coverage. The latter cannot be said for sure about many domestic roads. According to the testimony of a number of experts on road accidents, in native realities, the stability control system can play a cruel joke with the motorist, causing an even stronger skid. Thus, in order not to disable this function later as unnecessary, it is better to refuse to install it at the stage of buying a car.

3. Panoramic roof or sunroof

A frankly useless feature. / Photo: maximonline.ru.

Grossly overpriced and overpriced car accessories. In practice, the sunroof and the panoramic roof are boring for most motorists already a month after purchasing the vehicle. As a result, citizens simply stop using both. As a result - money thrown into the void. It should also not be forgotten that panoramic roofs are significantly inferior to the usual ones in terms of reliability and safety.

4. Backlighting everything you can

Most of the backlighting is useless. / Photo: drive2.com.

On the one hand, the lighting, especially in the trunk, is never superfluous. Modern designers and tuners strive to shove an LED or two into the most unexpected places. It has even come to the illumination of the thresholds. It looks, of course, beautiful and fashionable. However, there is almost no sense from all this additional illumination from the point of view of practical purpose. Standard lighting is quite enough for solving some utilitarian tasks. For the rest, you should ask yourself: how often do you have to (or have to) drive a car in pitch darkness?

5. Automatic stop-start system

It does not reduce, but increases fuel consumption. / Photo: avtopribambas.com.

Initially, this system was conceived as one of the tools to reduce fuel consumption in a car. The bottom line is that the automatics should turn off the engine in those cases when the driver released the gas pedal, and the car itself stands still. At the same time, if you release the brake pedal and press on the gas, then the automatics should start the engine by itself. In theory, everything looked good, but in practice, there was practically no reduction in the degree of wear of spare parts, and the consumption fuel on some models of power units not only does not decrease, but even grows when using the system stop start.
