Default Why do u think it is?

why do u think that car companies can have power seats and power mirors but they dont integrate the two so that you get in you can press a button so that the seat AND mirrors are set?! i mean i thought that this would be fairly logical.. i mean gm can integrate the seat and the pedals.

I think mercedes has the memory feature in their E and S class. I've seen VW passat (last gen even) with memory chip on the key.

Most of the new cars that have power seats and mirrors and a memory function remember position of seats and mirrors (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Honda, Opel, Renault ...)

well at least you all can adjust your seats and mirrors. hell in my car i only got 1 side view and 1 rearview mirror and the side view isnt adjustable. cause my car is nearly 30 years old but still. point being uhm yeah. lexus has a full on memory system at least in the gs sieres. with full driver seat mirror and tilt wheel settings.

Fuck that ! If you really want to know about it, Volvo invented this (just like they did with the 3-point seat belts).

I hate luxury features in cars! That's why I'd like a F50 or F40! No luxury BS at all!
I don't even want carpets, and manual windows are fine! Of course, a manual shifter is mandatory! I hate automatic more than anything....well, not as much as a Civic with a "wing"-type spoiler and a 3 12' tail pipe
