Whats the favourite part of your car that you didn't expect to be. I really like the leather on the dash and glovebox etc...wouldnt be an option id tick before...but now I think id miss it if it wasn't there.

Probably the gearbox! Never had an automatic before but the ZF8 speed box is a peach

Really boring but the hill assist. Don't get me wrong I can hill start fine, but this is something I thought would be really intrusive and annoying. In actual fact, it is unobtrusive to the point you don't realise it's there!

Heated seats.
Never had a car with heated seats until we got the Z and now I think they are almost a must.

The straight 6 soundtrack!
Especially with a custom cat-back system.

The burbbles and pops from the exhaust
The hardtop is indispensable
But for details I enjoy the headlights on dark mountain roads, and the rain sensor for going in and out of rain and mist
The Ferrari- like DCT after you spent your previous life enjoying 10,000,000 manual shifts and especially when the traffic is heavy
To answer the OP, it would be the speed control. It allows me to drive comfortably on boring roads by providing good response and using the braking feature as needed.
But wait! It is the way that the A/C can keep me cool with the top down with windows raised on a hot day.
I am just getting started.

It's got to be the soundtrack on the 35is with the sport exhaust.

The auto dimming wing mirrors, have had rear mirror before on other cars but then you still get blinded by the exterior mirrors. Oh and the 35is exhaust with the top down

Don't say that, I'm thinking of moving to a 3.0si Only a 75hp drop but even still, I am worried I'll miss the kick in the backside

Simple things done well - the tilting near-side rear vision mirror that tilts down when reverse is selected so that you can see the gutter.
