Never used the airbags. Rarely use the hazard lights. Never use cruise control. Haven't used rear-defrost in a few years (parking inside now). Hardly ever recline the drivers seat all the way back.

1) Rearview mirror - What's behind me doesn't count
2) Turn signals - I know where I'm going, everyone else can adapt.
3) Brakes - Once per trip, when I get to where I'm going.
4) Cruise Control - Doesn't work if you're constantly accelerating.

Tiptronic transmission. Maybe use it once every few months when I'm bored.

cruise control - doesn't work
power locks - passenger side doesn't work
hatch unlock button in glove compartment - works 25% of the time... not worth getting out of the car to see that it still isn't unlocked

other than that i use everything

I don't even know if the cruise control and the cassette tape player in my car work. Haven't even tried either of them once since I bought the car a little less than a year ago.

automatic climate control (i prefer to control the fans manually) and a/c (windows down and sunroof open is the only way to cruise)

I think the sunroof/moonroof is probably the least used "extra" on a car. Totally useless and I never use mine. Considering how much more some car companies charge you for it, you would think it was indispensible.
