Millions of drivers aren’t getting the most value out of their cars - because they don’t understand their full specifications. Almost half (48 per cent), of the 2,000 car owners polled, admitted they don’t know everything their car can do.
And of those who activated a new feature, 38 per cent 'accidentally triggered' it, while 44 per cent were alerted to the hidden extras by family or friends. It also emerged that although 49 per cent cite safety reasons in their consideration of high-tech features when buying a new vehicle, 36 per cent feel “confused” by them.
The survey was commissioned by the nearly new vehicle retailer Motorpoint, which has also created a video showing some of the useful features and hidden spec gems on the forecourt.
