Consider Luxury Add-ons When Buying a Car

Shopping for a new car when you have a family usually becomes a matter of finding the most reliable vehicle for the best price. However, don’t be afraid to treat yourself to a few luxury features. If you have a long commute, you probably spend almost as much time in your car as you do at home during the week (minus sleeping hours). If you can rationalize a few new home accessories, then you can rationalize a few deluxe features for your vehicle. Ask Kansas City Buick dealers about what features they offer as you shop around for your car.

Blind Spot Alerts
Most drivers have experienced the horrible feeling you get when you begin to switch lanes and realize there is already a car hidden in your blind spot. Sometimes there is not enough time for drivers to correct the error before a collision occurs. If you make sure your new vehicle comes with a blind spot alert, then you never have to experience that feeling again and you will avoid easily preventable accidents. Blind spot monitors are usually mounted on each side of a car and they use visual or audio signals to warn drivers when they detect another vehicle. Children can easily distract drivers and blind spot warnings will enhance your ability to drive safely.

Heated Steering Wheel
While the alerts will allow you to stay safe while driving, a heated steering wheel will allow you to keep your hands warm and cozy. This is convenient if you live in a place that gets quite chilly in the winter. It’s probably easy to recall an especially cold morning when you had to climb into your icy vehicle and place your hands on a very cold steering wheel. Perhaps you didn’t even have your gloves with you. However, if you buy a car with a heated steering wheel, you won’t have to ever remember your gloves in the morning.

Push Button Start
A third feature to consider is the keyless entry remote, which unlocks your car doors and even starts your car with the push of a button. Pushing a button in your pocket to start your car is a luxury feature you could live without, but you shouldn’t have to. See Kansas City Buick dealers soon to ask about these features.
