I live in the Southwest and I can’t really can’t go without air conditioning for half of the year. A/C is a necessity for those of us out here, or who reside in other scorching climates, and in the same vein all-wheel drive could be a necessity for those in snowy climates.
So dear readers, What option can you not do without in a car?
Give us your take in the comments section.

Air conditioning, no doubt. Central GA, temps today high 90s, high humidity, heat index over 100.
I am going to say 3: AC and electric windows and locks.
Convertible top, manual transmission.
Everything else is superfluous.
I’m with you TJ.
Manual Tranny & Rag Top!
Seat belts (lap belts at a minimum).
Keyless ignition
Air conditioning.
1) A/C, including cooled seats
2) Cruise Control
3) Automatic Transmission
4) Great Stereo system, w/CD player (I own LOTS!)
5) Power EVERYTHING!!!
I was going to say air conditioning but that’s not really an option anymore so I will go with at least 495 hp and a rag top
It’s got to have a manual, or it’s just an appliance.
A/c, comfortable seats
AC is a definite must, the weather here in the Southeast is generally hot and humid for spring till fall. As a personal must have is a sirus/xm radio I need my oldies and the news and weather to spend hours behind the wheel.
AC and heat are a big one but can do without if needed, But I must have a cup holder for my “drive around” coffee…..
The question was about options, not standard equipment.
Biggest engine V-8, convertible top and even with that must have a/c since I live in the south.

I can do without Power steering, A/C (live in Phoenix), Auto Trans and I agree with Chuck, give me the Hi horsepower option every time.
I can get behind you on skipping the power steering and auto transmission, but to me AC is a must. Also cruise control. I don’t know how you can do without A/C in phoenix. I was there once and it was 118 in the shade.
Guess A/C is no longer an option just costs more. Need that and electric 6 way seats with lumbar support like my 92 SHO. Have a bad back. Delete the infotainment .
Automatic transmission
All wheel drive.
