For many novices, buying a car is really a headache, not only what car to buy is difficult to choose, after determining the goal, the specific configuration of the model to buy is also very confusing. Many people in the manufacturer's bells and whistles, sales of clever offensive, it is easy to blindly buy high-end models because of a bunch of chicken rib configuration, and then found the chicken ribs of these configurations in use, so as to begin to feel sorry for their own wasted tickets. If you don't want to encounter this situation when buying a car, then quickly take a look at the 7 chicken rib configurations listed below!
Headlight cleaning
As the name suggests, headlight cleaning can give the car headlights a simple cleaning work, this function may be more useful in the past, but it may not be of much use today in 2022, because the current owners generally love their cars, and basically will go to the car wash every once in a while.
Secondly, the domestic road conditions are much better than before, the probability of being able to walk to the non-paved road surface is greatly reduced, living in the city you are difficult to encounter the road conditions are particularly bad, the cleanliness of the headlights can naturally be guaranteed. I still remember the old Camry at home, maybe I played with its headlight cleaning function when I first bought the new car, and then I never used it again.
The engine starts and stops automatically
I believe that many friends are like me, the first time to get on the car is to turn off the automatic start and stop. Yes, this configuration is really annoying, and the models with automatic start-stop on the market now are basically turned on by default, so that you have to manually turn it off every time you drive. Not to mention how much fuel can be saved by starting and stopping, the vibration caused by the frequent engine start during traffic jams alone is enough to make your mentality explode. Although the current model equipped with light mix can improve the jitter problem caused by the engine start-up to a certain extent, this is only an improvement, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the experience. In the final analysis, automatic start and stop is only a product of dealing with strict emission policies, and automakers are also "forced" to do this configuration with an unusually poor experience, and their hearts may also be ten thousand unhappy.
Paddle shifter has always been a configuration that represents vehicle sportiness and driving pleasure in manufacturers' publicity, and under the premise that the vehicle gearbox responds fast enough, there are paddle shifters that can indeed increase driving pleasure, but how many people will often use it? Compared with car owners who like to drive fiercely and experience the thrill of racing drivers, I believe that more people are still willing to relax and calmly drive, taking a step back, if you really like the sense of participation and control when changing gears, then it is better to buy manual gears directly?
Zoned air conditioning
The effect of the partition air conditioner is to divide the car into several temperature zones, so that passengers in the front and rear or the main co-pilot can choose the temperature that suits them. But in fact, this configuration is not practical, first of all, in such a small space as the carriage, the effect of the temperature zone division is not obvious; secondly, the passengers' demand for different temperatures is not large, even if it is needed, then open the window or close the air conditioning outlet on their side, can achieve the same effect.
Also appearing on luxury brand high-end models, you can often see the function of gesture recognition. From the perspective of the operation effect, it is indeed cool, and you can "point the country" with a wave of your finger. However, in practice, it may backfire, and your fingers must be aligned with the sensor, otherwise there will be a high probability that the situation will not be sensitive enough. Understand the brother in the 3 series, 5 series and 7 series have used this function, in addition to the 7 series of gesture recognition sensitivity is OK, the other two are not very good. Obviously multi-functional direction or knob can use the function, why bother to "perform magic"? If you're showing it to the girl you just met next to you, I didn't say it.
Touch buttons
Now many new cars in order to highlight the so-called sense of technology, as far as possible to "delete" the physical buttons, and use touch buttons instead. From a visual point of view, the touch button can indeed bring you a certain sense of science and technology, but when it is implemented into actual operation, you will find that it is actually not easy to use, fingerprints affect the aesthetics, not to mention, the most important thing is that it is not easy to blindly exercise in the process of vehicle travel, and it is easy to produce traffic hazards. I know that some people may raise the bar and say: The touch buttons now have their own vibration feedback function, which simulates the feel of the physical button as much as possible. But what I want to say is that the simulation is always a simulation, and no matter how real it is, it cannot be compared with the feel of the physical buttons.
