What car feature do you wish they would bring back?
Are there any features of older cars that you wish would come back?
I really miss those triangle vent windows right by the side mirrors. If you angled them right, you didn't need A/C until it got really hot, or your were stuck in traffic.

Giant spoilers because they were oh so useful.  .
Actually, I have no idea what is even considered outdated these days as my car is 17 years old.

i also liked the thinner steering wheels from the pre-airbag days. not that i don't love knowing i have an airbag, i just liked the thinner wheel.

I miss the hood ornaments. I know that they took them off for a few good reasons. People would steal them, they cause a lot of damage to a person if they got hit by the car, it costs money, etc. The flexible ornaments were supposed to address the human injuries, but removing them totally gets rid of that issue totally.

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I miss roll down windows! 
We keep cars forever, so we have only had a car with power doors, windows & a rearview camera for 3 years. (I know they had power windows in 2004, but our old car had limited features.)

Radios with buttons! My touchscreen requires too much time with your eyes diverted looking where to touch IMHO

I love seeing huge spoilers on front wheel drive cars... Assuming they are installed correctly (which they often aren't), they are putting downforce on the back wheels, and lifting the front wheels (where the traction and steering are)...

We had a country squire wagon. I loved the seats that folded up in the back. I just though it was so cool. although we were never allowed to ride in it. I think maybe one time.

I remember riding in the "way back", but I never had sideways seats in the way back....
I used to like waving to all of the cars behind us, since we were facing them.

The back facing seat were great til someone got car sick!
My first car had two bench rows, great for getting a lot of people in but so unsafe. Irreplaceable for the drive in ;)
Miss rain guards over the doors. Do cars still have these?
Miss a simpler car…dad or hubby used to be able to fix anything under the hood, the new electronics are a whole different story
