The Unusual Features Of Luxury Cars
When you decide to buy a used luxury vehicle, like a used Lexus GS 350, some of the features may surprise you. It is sporty, yes, but unlike some other luxury vehicles, it has rear wheel drive. (Other luxury vehicles of similar size and style either have four-wheel drive or front wheel drive in order to have better control over the vehicle if it skids.) Here are some more unusual features of this luxury vehicle.
Memory Seats
Imagine sitting in a car that knows your butt. No joke. The seat seems to perfectly conform to your derriere every time. That is because these seats are known as "memory seats," and contain "memory" foam.
The foam padding in the seat immediately conforms to fit your backside so that you can ride and drive comfortably. You are not constantly shifting around in your seat trying to find a comfortable position. This manufacturer took a risk because memory foam sometimes conforms to fit one person, and then it stays that way when that person has driven the car for a long time. However, used car dealerships have found a way to help the memory foam reshape itself.
Dual-Zone Climate Control
This feature is a mind-boggler. Think about sitting in the car with your grandparents. Your grandma is yelling about how cold she is, and your grandpa is yelling about how hot he is. Dual-zone climate control somehow has the ability to refrigerate your grandma's side of the front seat, and heat your grandpa's side of the front seat.
More amazing still is the fact that the dual temperatures seem unaffected by the other. You can even flip a switch to heat your bum in the middle of winter.
Controls at Your Fingertips
Control everything from your satellite radio to your door locks, moonroof, sunroof, and even your cruise control with buttons on the steering wheel. Your fingers never leave the wheel, which means you cannot get into an accident trying to turn on the cruise and tune into your favorite station simultaneously. The weird part is, your steering wheel almost looks like a keyboard with the number of buttons you have to control everything. Some people think that that is really cool. You might think so too.
Lots and Lots of Power
Power everything; it is the phrase that is synonymous with luxury. It means that everything in the vehicle has a power button to control it. Power seats, power roofs, power locks, power, power, and more power. Combine that with the powerful engine under the hood, and it is easy to see why luxury cars are so unusual and fantastic at the same time.
