Things I'd like car designers to know

  • Seniors don't all want giant SUVs that seat 7.
  • Seniors do want vehicles that are raised enough to make them easy to get in and out of.
  • 141 HP for a 1400 kg vehicle? Come on. Minimum 0.12 HP per kg curb weight please. Minimum. 
  • Lots of luxury features shouldn't only be available on the biggest models you make.
  • A panoramic sun roof should by now be standard on all vehicles.
  • Enough with the AWD. It is wasted on most people and wastes gas and horsepower. Just put Nokian WR G4 'all weather' (not all season) tires on at the factory and winter accidents will drop 40%.
  • There are a lot more colours in the spectrum than black, white and 50 shades of grey.
  • Y'all need to invent a vehicle device that stores excess engine heat to later be released at the next start in cold weather.
  • Is there a good reason why some vehicles have the gas filler on one side versus the other?
  • Steering wheels should automatically raise up and away when the driver door is open.
  • Heated steering should be a mandatory feature in Canada.
  • Make a volume knob that doesn't become unreliable after a few years.
  • Somebody please make a car exactly like a Mercedes B250 for Canada, since Mercedes is too stupid to sell it here anymore.
