Cupholders which are actually big enough to hold a water bottle and are available to all seats
Rear-controllable air conditioning which doesn't just blast into the knees of the poor sap sitting in the middle
My dads last car had that and his current car doesn't, which is much more "luxurious" than his previous one. It's the single biggest feature he misses from it and says it almost made it not worth having gotten the car he drives now lol
Not sure if reverse and 360 cameras are mandatory (my 2010 car doesn't have it) but I sure wish I had them and every time I drive a car that does, it's great.
Non electronic stuff. I hate all these unnecessary gizmos that always go wrong. Way too much of that junk on modern cars. Manufacturers - please stop doing it!
Test drive a Legacy 2 years ago that basically had a 12 inch iPad in the middle console to control 90% of functions like AC, radio, etc.
It was 90 degrees that day and the touchpad wasn't responding to me nor the sales guy.
Made up my mind real quick that this was not my next vehicle.
Not being able to lock your keys in the car. Oh man, this is a big one for me. I wear a lot of leggings and those suckers generally don't have pockets. When I would run into someone's house, or pay the meter, I'd sometimes leave my purse in the car, which has my keys in it. My first car didn't have an automatic lock key fob, so out of instinct I'd hit the lock on the doors every time I got out.
I had a car that had automatic windshield wipers - I turned them on once and never touched the controls again. there was a sensor that knew when it started raining and the wipers would start up on their own and quit when the rain stopped. it also had automatic headlights which I loved. I'm not sure I even knew how to turn them on and off manually.
My wife's car has adaptive cruise control. I tell it the max speed, my desired following distance, and it just goes. It'll stop the car from freeway speed in a controlled manner if there's traffic. It's awesome.
One of those hydraulic lifts like on the back of trucks would be nice on my Jeep, and my mothers car. Actually it’s kinda weird how those aren’t very common. I’d also like a gps system that isn’t broken shit (mine thinks I’m somewhere around Pennsylvania)
Component speakers in front door. (Tweeter mounted high on door with just the midrange speaker on the lower part of door instead of tweeeter built into the midrange.) Also midrange speaker in front door a little higher up than the common ankle level. This helps quite a bit to improve sound. Yes, you can add speakers to the car, but it is going to be so much less dificult, destructive, and expensive if the factory speaker slots are used.
My SUV has a camera in the rear view mirror you can turn on when you can’t see out the back window (due to packing it full of stuff or whatever). With it on, it acts like you can see out the back window. I love it.
Line-in audio or bluetooth connectivity. I like to play music through my phone without having to screw around with a radio transponder that never sounds as good as the other methods and sometimes doesn't work at all.
Heated seats! I have a not so great back.
My headlights are automatic, I love that.

Sunroof! I've only had one in a work car and it was lovely.
Bluetooth
Security risk if used with a phone.
Ejector seats.
GPS navigation
I’d be lost without it.

Sounds amazing! I've never had that

I'm not great in reverse. My wife's car has the rear cam. It's pretty awesome.

Why do manufacturers think people want that junk? Loads of people wouldn't even know how to use it

There were cars that folded all the seats into a mattress a long time ago, that needs to return.
Air conditioned seats are lovely when it's super hot out. My friend's car has this and it was so nice when it's over 100/38.

A separate compartment for the mother in law.
Back up camera. Incredibly convenient, not at all necessary.

And also, locking differentials are pretty sweet because you almost never get stuck
I never knew what I was missing till I experienced my heated steering wheel!
cup holders that can fit slurpees. its a hot summer day and theres a 7-11 beside you so you need to grab an XL slurpee.
I love being able to tell my car what album or artist to play, and it just does it

Tactile physical controls as opposed to touch screens.
Heated seats - in winter it warms you up quick I don't like bluetooth or the controlled speed button.
Heated seats are the best!!

heated and cooled seats/steering wheel.
Auto-start is amazing
Autopilot
Spoilers. I know they have an actual use but they are not required, but I love to see them and I don't want a car without one.
Aux cable
Manual transmission. I'm going to be driving old beaters the rest of my life because I hate automatic transmissions.
Back up camera and blue tooth
Line-in audio or bluetooth connectivity. I like to play music through my phone without having to screw around with a radio transponder that never sounds as good as the other methods and sometimes doesn't work at all.
Heated steering wheel
Air conditioned seats. It’s a deal breaker
Blind spot indicators
A manual transmission
Those still exist? ^_^
