Default POLL: What unknown feature made you stop and say "Damn thats cool"

For me there were two features i "discovered" after purchase that made me stop and say "dude this is sweet".

Firstly the turn signal that blinks 3 times with a quick push of the control arm.

Secondly i was very happy with the AS feature on the radio. My past radio had nothing like that, and its quite a boon for me when i go driving out into the boonies ( And no im not going to pay 10 bucks a month to get satelite radio ) and dont feel like searching for stations.

Anyone else "find" features like this (okay okay i guess i shudda read the *whole* owners manual.. but whos got time to read when the car is so darn fun to drive)

Default Too many to mention here in the header (see enclosed).

Cool surprises:
.The two axis Lumbar support.
.The roomy glove compartment.
.The storage cubby for the manual under the dash.
.All the new lighting features (like floor lights when you open the back door).
. The warning display for when I get distracted and forget to put my gas cap back on.

Features of which I had heard about but was still pleasantly surprised:
. In-dash 6 disk CD changer.
. Drawers under the seats
. Auto dimming inside and outside rearview mirrors.
. The compass in the mirror.
. The two level trip computer display.
. The new 'dedicated lever' cruise control.
. The new 'AS' feature on the radio.
. The head air bags.
. The ESP
. The improved dual setting heating/air conditioning.
. The new integrated garage door opener.
. The extended back seat room (every inch counts).
. The fact that I'm now driving a ULEV car.
. The 3 blink at a touch turn signal.

Default turn signal, speed warning which is annoying but fun to mess around with when car is off.

the always on drivers cluster lights.
Being able to switch between degrees celcius and farrenheit for the climate control and external temperature display... amused me for a few minutes
Oh, and the coil pack which blows at randomly and gives you a fun surprise!
