Auto lights? I've got auto lights, or DRLs if you want to call them that, T4 or Toaf option.

Sensor windscreens? Rain sensor works, sometimes not as well as you wish.

Or did you mean something else?

Have never looked ... but I assume BMW 3 or 5's have this feature?

Good topic for a thread btw

Being able to step down the cruise control would be a useful feature, sometimes you do just need to back off a bit. Suppose now you would have adaptive cruise control to allow a constant gap between the vehicles in front.

Never fitted to 75/ZT, think this was only 45/ZS, but it would be handy in the dark.

Puddle lights seem like a good feature, either under the door mirrors or in the doors themselves. Add to that auto-folding mirrors, although wonder if it is possible to fit a system to existing powerfolds?

Heated windscreen? Not seen the MG version, but I hate the Ford ones as the element wires are very noticeable in certain lights which I find distracting.

I suppose we should also be thankful that we didn't get infernal annoyances such as stop/start and electric handbrakes though.

Yep strange they didn't fit it to the 75 - both the 25 and 45 had them.

+1 for the slow down on the cruise

And I wish the SWC were on the wheel it's not convenient were they are.

Factory digital speedo

Ipk shows temp, fuel consumption as well as digital speed all at once

Wide screen touch screen radio with Bluetooth (may be be not available at the time?)

Coupe option definitely having seen the factory prototype pics and the after market replicates

Oh and in a saloon back seats that fold flat

I hate hate hate automatic lights. No end of trouble turning on and off when I want the opposite.
My wife drove up to Edwinstowe a few days ago, so concerned was I about automatic lights I asked her to turn them from automatic to on.
