Really Annoying Features On Cars

[joggerjayne]

Car maker people are good at listing the "plus" features on their cars.

There should also be list of annoying features.

Here are some annoying features on my car.

(1) You can't programme the satnav while the car is moving - which is a pain if you're in traffic, and want to know where to go, coz you have to find somewhere to stop.

(2) If you unlock it, and don't open the doors, it locks itself again - so you unlock the car, pick up your armful of bags, go to get in the car, try to open the door with your fingertips, and the sodding thing has relocked itself.

Why don't car makers colour code and label the engine bits - e.g. 'oil goes in this brown tank', 'water for the windscreen goes in this blue bit here', 'radiator water in this red bit', etc. If the light is dim and you're in a hurry, it's not always easy to tell!

This is the annoying features on my car.
(1) To change the headlight bulb you have to take off the front wheel and then remove a panel in the wheel arch and go in through the bulkhead. some models also require you lowering the front bumper too!

They make an ashtray but not a bin or gum-holder - so the gum has to go out the window or into the ashtray (eeew)

And our avensis whinges when you reverse. Literally - it whines its head off, I think it's 'a safety feature' for people who can't be bothered looking where they are reversing into.

Indicators that don't switch off immediately! You indicate, pull out and then as the indicators are still going you flick the switch to turn them off and they then catch up and instead of turning them off your have turned them the opposite way and they are flashing again. If I want them to flash I will turn them on!!!!!!
