That and my speed limiter help me not speed, especially roads I use where if I keep up with car in front I'm doing 65 in a 50

Runflat tyres. Awful things.

Another fantastic idea on paper but in reality God no

Most irritating thing in the cars I've had is the seat belt alarm. Every time you stick a bag on a passenger seat the bloody alarm goes off when you start driving.

Keyless entry and runflat tyres have both caused me massive aggravation and inconvenience that will be dealbreakers on my next car purchase.
I like a rotary knob to control temperature. Having to do it via a touchscreen stopped me buying an otherwise perfect Volvo last time I bought a car.

Most irritating thing is the lunatics driving them.

On my Volvo Xc40, touch screen controls for all the heating/ac and the radio is an accident waiting to happen.
A wildly erratic lane assist that scares the life out of us when it kicks in and a tyre inflator and a can of goo are all things I want to get rid of.

How often do you change the settings on the heating/AC and radio? And you know it’s potentially dangerous, so why would you adjust it while moving?
My AC spends 99% of the year set to 19 and on Auto.
Do you not have controls on the steering wheel to change stations? My old XC90 did.
Thinking about it. I don’t think I’ve touched my lights since turning them on to auto the day I picked the car up.

Problem is human beings don't like machines being in control of things
They believe they can perform better
I forgot to add the Sat-Nag, although if I put her in the boot her voice is a bit muffled

My trolley goes on the front seat of my MX5 and has to be strapped in. Probably a good idea anyway.

Seriously? I’m forever turning the heating up and down, fan up and down, bit of talksport in the morning, radio x in the afternoon, maybe dabble with radio 4 or gold. DAB is hit and miss so you have to go to FM/AM/LW
If you want to turn the fan up a notch and the temperature down a degree it’s dangerous stuff.

Yep, seriously. I have it set at the my preferred temp and fan speed and it stays there. The only time I change it is when it’s really hot and I hit the max AC button.

The thing I'd most like to do without on my car is the roof.
I've had 4 roadsters over the years, and they were just great.
Family life put a stop to that

I find these features really useful and use them all the time. I guess you never do any motorway driving?

Does it even have indicators?
Could be worse. If you had a Tesla virtually everything you need, which should be located on a steering wheel or at least attached to the steering column, is accessed via that ridiculous iPad contraption located low and to the driver’s left.
Awful, awful cars.

Surprised no-one has listed auto stop/start. A right pain if it kicks in the moment you want pull out of a junction or roundabout. Thankfully, I can turn it off. 
New touchscreens....the irony of you can be done by the cops for phone use when most new cars are in fact one humongous iPad.

Talk to me about buttons being less dangerous than a touch screen
