The more I drive my car the more I wonder what I would need that stupid compass for.

It has bluetooth, so no need to have a thumbdrive with music on it when it could just be on my phone. Not even sure if that usb port even is connected to the audio system. Just a pointless usb port in a pointless hidden compartment.

(9,893 posts)that opens a half an inch. I never use it. Ive always had a moonroof and I love them, but this thing hardly opens.
Oh, and the headlights. Therere fine for street lit driving, but I live in the country. I have to use the fog lights to safely make a left or Im turning into total darkness.

(13,871 posts)I love to take back roads if I have gone somewhere. If I am in a city an hour or so from home, instead of taking the Interstate I will just take a random road and then head NSE or W as necessary and see some of the countryside.
If you get tired of the wilderness ride, just put your address in the GPS and you're heading home on the big roads.
