I'd settle for one that beeps to remind you to lock the doors, are very
easy to refill water for screens, easy to charge batteries, tell you
where the nearest OPEN garage is if you are running low, has a proper
slot to put the car tax disc instead of the thing falling off after a
few years driving and plenty of room with a hard plastic shell (like the
Volvo has) to line the boot so plants and pots and tools and dogs don't
make too much mess!

I like the Skoda idea of parking in a tight space for you and also the
beeping to let you know how near you are front and back to obstacles!


Nissan's idea of a rear view camera that uses the GPS display is even
better. We do our own beeping.


The Volvo does this with a rear camera also.

We drove a Nissan but didn't like it, I'm afraid. To each his own!
