Bluetooth with voice recognition, although I can have this fitted. So really I don't miss a thing. What worries me more is what I'm going to miss having on any future replacement car!

From my Jag:
- Easy out for the steering (electric adjust) and seat;
- Memory function that also does mirrors and steering;
- Stability Control;
- Auto Headlights On/Off.

Also:
- Dipping side mirrors on reverse;
- Rain Sensors (which we didn't get here);
- Power Fold Mirrors (as above);
- Touch Screen;
- A REAL spare tyre and wheel!!! (try and track down one here in Aus);
- 25 more ponies under the hood for a V6.

Lastly:
- The ability to change many of the convenience features without the need of a T4.

And there you have my ultimate car for it's era.

Yep, I also miss auto lights.

I'm surprised no one has developed a mod for this yet!

It wouldn't be as simple as say fitting it to a 400/45/ZS, as we have an LSM and blown bulb detection to face. I'd be interested to see if it's possible though, I'll have a think.
Would be a very useful addition!

Auto hold on my passat.

Whenever you came to a stop and released the brake it maintained brake pressure so you didn't roll. Useful in an auto

Light sensor - relay - light switch? Although you'd need a manual override as well. Mmm, not as easy as that!
