While hardcore enthusiasts would rather not spare weight, most consumers are yearning for smarter cars with as many electronic gadgets as possible. To find out where your car falls we've developed this quiz answering: "How smart is your car?"

 

This test is divided into eight sections. Add up the points in each section and use the handy Jalopnik rubric at the bottom to discover just how smart your car truly is. If you have multiple features in a section (say ESP and ABS) add them both into to the total. If your car is controlled by your iPod, you get to start with 100 points.
