A magic carpet. Easily the smoothest car I have ever driven and with 245bhp on tap when required

It's a Grand Espace - it is huge.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The fact that when I approach the car the seat, mirrors, stereo and aircon synch with my "badge" (Renault speak for a credit card key)
