Did you buy your most recent car at least in part because you were drawn to the car's automated safety features (such as adaptive cruise control, parking assist, automatic braking, lane departure warnings, etc.)? If so, a reporter would like to hear your story. Please contact PR@edmunds.com by no later than Monday, April 20, 2015.
Can I turn off all such 'automated safety features' ?
And will they STAY off across a re-start ?

True of my current car = all present & off .....
(And no, it's not a pic of a horse and buggy. We're talking Miatas and the like.)
And today, 8 days after buying a used car (for probably about 20% of what they sell the average new Cadillac for), I receive a package in the mail. A small package of expensive chocolate chip cookies, with a very nice Thank You card enclosed.
Actually the only time I ever got anything was when I bought my '02 Intrigue. A week or so later a small package arrived at my office with a card, coffee mug, and some treats. On the '09 and '11 Buicks, nothing.

Tint guy came to the house Saturday and did both vehicles and so far, so good. Been home basically since then so tomorrow it'll be outside all day at work so the heat can dry things out better. Glad we finally got this done, word of mouth from a friend who also bought an A3 the same time as we did and she was very pleased with his work. Right now, so are we!

sadly, my big movie debut in one of the Edmunds video profiles fell through. I got aced out by some guy in LA.

[ ?? ]
I now have over 4,000 miles on my 2015 Charger R/T. I looked at [ documented here ] Audi [ primarily S3 ] and BMW [ primarily M235i ] before making my choice. And these would likely not be considered head-on competitors to the Dodge.
I also looked at BMW’s 5 series.
I drove a 535i – just not enough TQ \ acceleration for me.
I also drove a couple of 550i-s. I think these are fine cars, and they have a lot to offer. They are also very expensive:
Starts at $65,000 – and that does not even include heated seats!
Moving to the ‘M Sport’ version \ line & adding things like heated front & rear seats, heated steering wheel, and such – to bring it close to the level of equipment in my Charger – bumps the MSRP into the $70,000 zip code.
Now my Dodge is NOT a BMW 550i M Sport. However –
I consider the acceleration comparable, though the BMW is around a half second quicker in the quarter mile. The handling [ these are not small, nimble cars, of course ] under any ‘real world’ conditions I have encountered is roughly equal. [ Neither would do well in an autocross . . . ] So is the ride. Nearly identical rated MPG. The 8-speed transmissions are nearly identical.
The interior appointments [ materials, fit & finish ] are \ or at least can be a bit better in the BMW, one could argue. I do find these Dodge seats quite comfortable - and they provide excellent support for my old back – and butt. And I do not have to have run-flat tires.
[ I will post a trip report from 800+ miles in 2 days when I return, next week. ]
The MSRP of the Charger was $41,680 – I paid just over $36,000.
The M235i, configured as I would buy one, stickers for over $50,000.
So [ rhetorical question ] is my Dodge the best new BMW I could buy – at the price point?
My personal answer is: [unqualified] yes.
FWIW.
YMMV.

Very happy Dodge driver . . .
Though if you post this over in the "Entry Level Luxury Performance Sedans" topic, you might cause a few hearts to palpitate. Or stop completely.
