Just be happy with your choices and if not so...then change it...
I'll not purchase new again at 72 and find better uses for the premium of new
Then the potential of all these used with too many bells and whistles (for me) are all potential failure points
Some of these bells and whistles can be lifesavers and definitely make a trip more pleasant. A backup alarm in my wife's car would have paid for itself several times over. Automatic headlights with auto high/low beam, auto wipers, auto braking to avoid accidents are all pretty reliable and can yield benefits way beyond their cost, at least to me. Of course, this depends a lot on personal values.
