It adds significant weight to the vehicle, which can reduce fuel economy. Over time, these large sunroofs are also prone to leaking, and they tend to increase cabin heat, making your air conditioning work overtime. A standard sunroof, if you really need one, is usually more practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All-Wheel_Drive_AWD\"><\/span><strong>All-Wheel Drive (AWD)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/All-Wheel-Drive-Improves-Braking.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/All-Wheel-Drive-Improves-Braking.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/All-Wheel-Drive-Improves-Braking-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/All-Wheel-Drive-Improves-Braking-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>All-wheel drive is frequently marketed as a must-have for safety, but for most drivers, it\u2019s overkill. Unless you live in a region with harsh winters or rough terrain, front- or rear-wheel drive will suffice. AWD adds both weight and complexity, leading to lower fuel efficiency and higher maintenance costs.

It also significantly reduces the available cargo space, a key benefit of owning an SUV. If you don\u2019t regularly transport more than five passengers, you\u2019re unlikely to use those seats often. For occasional larger gatherings, renting a larger vehicle may be a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Built-In_Navigation\"><\/span><strong>Built-In Navigation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Technological-Advancements.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Technological-Advancements.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Technological-Advancements-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Technological-Advancements-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With smartphones providing real-time GPS navigation through apps like Google Maps, the need for built-in systems has diminished. These in-car navigation systems are expensive and often require costly updates. A simple smartphone mount allows you to access up-to-date maps without the hassle.

Modern SUVs already come equipped with rearview cameras and sensors that make parking easy. This feature also tends to malfunction, leading to frustration rather than convenience. In most cases, parking the old-fashioned way is quicker and just as effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ventilated_Seats\"><\/span><strong>Ventilated Seats<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ventilated-Seats.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ventilated-Seats.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ventilated-Seats-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ventilated-Seats-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ventilated seats might seem like a luxurious feature, but unless you live in an extremely hot area, they\u2019re hardly essential. They can also increase the cost of your SUV while adding another point of potential mechanical failure. Air conditioning does a fine job of keeping the cabin comfortable, making ventilated seats an unnecessary extra. In many climates, they\u2019re simply not worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heated_Steering_Wheel\"><\/span><strong>Heated Steering Wheel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Heated-Steering-Wheel.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Heated-Steering-Wheel.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Heated-Steering-Wheel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Heated-Steering-Wheel-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A heated steering wheel can feel like a treat on cold mornings, but for many drivers, it\u2019s more of a novelty than a necessity.
