| Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||||||||
| Rear disc brakes. | ||||||||
| Only listed when pricing a single model because insufficient data for all cars. | ||||||||
| Automatically pulse the brakes in hard stops to prevent wheels from locking up, making it possible to brake and steer at the same time. | ||||||||
| When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||||||||
| Mandatory, in all cars. | ||||||||
| Airbags contained just above the window level. Except in cars without a rear seat usually cover first and second row. | ||||||||
| Selectively applies the brakes to prevent excessive understeer or oversteer (spinning). | ||||||||
| Two types: a warning light when a tire is low on air and a pressure readout for each tire. | ||||||||
| When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||||||

| Usually part of an overhead console. | ||||||||
| Climate Control | ||||||||

| Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | ||||||||

| Drivetrain | ||||||||
| When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||||
| Exterior | ||||||||
| Side skirts and possibly a front air dam and rear apron. | ||||||||
| Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | ||||||||
| Spoiler mounted beneath the nose of the car, to increase downforce. | ||||||||
| Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | ||||||||
| Large spoiler stands well above the trunk or hatch. | ||||||||
