Yeah, the manufactured exhaust pop and burble. So irritating. And yes, the fake engine sounds piped into the car.

I actually don't like reverse cameras because you tend to only rely on that and not looking around before backing up...that includes looking at the sides of your car. I prefer reverse sensors. I had aftermarket license plate cameras in my suvs and removed them. Now I use the beepers and am more attentive to my reversing.

I had a similar experience when I paid cash for my Tundra. I gave them a cashiers check and the sales guy had no idea what to do. No title was proffered. We went up two more levels of “management” before someone got the concept that I give them money and at the very least they give me a receipt for it. :rolleyes:

Here, they are suppose to give you the title within 30 days.

Last time I bought a car I did not pay the extra money for the optional "johnson massager." I have had regrets, but it was probably a good choice.

There is also no tactile feedback when you 'push' them.

356 ?? or RS-60?

911 dates from early '60s (and the prettiest Italian stuff) so I chose that

Try fresh snow in a new loaner so equipped. Not awesome.

Good to know, thanks.
I just bought a new (2017) to me vehicle. It has that feature plus adaptive cruise, and accident avoidance. I'm still trying to figure things out how this stuff works. Oh one other thing, no cd player so I have to convert everything to a flash drive

Autonomous braking!:eek::eek:

My '20 Taco will automatically apply braking if it thinks there's pedestrian in front of me and my speed is 20 or less. IDT I can turn it off like the lane drift alarm.

The auto start/stop is annoying - but I have gotten use to it. If I'm in heavy start/stop traffic, I turn it off.

sunroofs - I have a love hate relationship with them. I have a 1983 944 with a manual sunroof. I have opened it several times but seldom removed it. It a PITA to lift out and store. On my VW, I have never opened it in almost 2 years of ownership. I leave the shade open in the winter and close it in the summer (the car gets too hot). It is probably the only option I could live without.

Cruise control -never uses it. I like my foot/feet on the pedals.

Agreed. I've got 35 F250's in a construction fleet. Never had one stolen, but you can imagine how long an RFID key fob lasts on job sites...

Same for a family with kids driving - oy veh!

Engine Start/Stop - to me - is the all-time worst. I'm driving an awesome 2016 Ford Explorer, but was considering passing it down to my daughter and her husband who just had their first child. But the new Explorer has that stupid auto start-stop - no way will I buy into that until forced to do so.

FWIW, it appears that cancelling auto S/S in a new Explorer requires pushing 1 readily accessable console button once.

It's a regional thing and you are in Civicland:

anything that beeps at you

This was in a new Subaru I rode in last weekend. All of the auxiliary controls were through this stupid touch screen.

This. I just about had whiplash when my gfs mx5 closed a little too quickly on the car in front and she touched her brakes. Amazed the 1 ton truck behind didn't kill us.

I like the Lane Keep Assist on my Volt. I’m not sure it has any practical application but on long boring highway drives it’s fun to turn it on and let the car ping pong back and forth across the lane for a while.

push button start. only a matter of time before the button doesn’t work. have already had 2 instances where i pushed button and nothing happened. bad feeling. my jeep isn’t a race car so i don’t get why this stupid button is necessary. keys are too manly i guess

digital gauges are awful even though the 992 looks ok, when the car is off and you look inside all you see is the tach. i hate this. new Mk8 GTI has be ruined by this along with the touch control slider things and non-click steering wheel button controls that provide zero feedback and a giant ipad glued to the dash

auto on off start. dumb and annoying and in my opinion, dangerous

electric parking break. god i hate these. pressing a parking break pedal or lifting a lever is so bad?

back up cameras. not for me, but for some- especially women i believe. my wife doesn’t seem to look around anymore when backing up- just relies upon on the camera. very dangerous

i do believe we are at an all time low point for car design

see here. disables it by plugging into data connector. $90
