Brilliant little amusing piece thanks for sharing π
I would pay extra to not have Stop start and the doors automatically locking themselves.
Tyres with no sidewalls. Heated steering wheel, heated seats, electric tailgates but no heated screen.
idrive 8 on new BMW's is pure torture π« it really is. Menu's and sub Menu's to un tick a box to turn off the bloody lane assist every time you start the car.
Car options - this is so bad on JLR products even the salesmen can't work out what a car has sometimes without just going to look at it. Packs, individual options, things becoming standard then not standard year by year, some options vanish for a year then return later. Lane keep assist is a bloody misery especially on the newest cars that won't remember the setting. Mandated unfortunately by the latest set of EU rubbish. Kia lane assist is so fussy that it feels like you have no control whatsoever. Jaguar lane assist is fairly laid back and you can leave it on without realising it's there until you deliberately cross a lane without indicating. However both have one thing in common, on the same bit of the M25 they've tried to steer me into traffic due to wet road reflections on a diagonal road repair. Absolute liability. And touchscreens can F off. I was recently car shopping and struck some new versions of cars off the list because they'd gone even further down the touchscreen road and there weren't even climate controls. Settled on a used one with a reassuring array of buttons in the end.
Couldn't agree more about fake SUVs, imo they are literally the dumbest cars class of cars on the road. To make them worse they are responsible for the decline of one of my favourite class of car, the estate car.
Literally agree with all of these. Thanks for explaining what an SUV is!
Great points - especially re the SUVs!
So true, keep it simple.
Agreed about Auto Stop/start. Nearly had an accident in my wife's Skoda Kamiq at a roundabout, slowed down for entry, and just as my space appeared to enter the roundabout, the engine died thinking I was stopping. Then when I hit the gas the gas it spluttered into start again losing the 2 or so seconds time I had to pull out before the next car came. Of course getting an angry horn blast into the bargain from the bloke I screwed up... EV owners smugness, very annoying... or it is until they go to trade them in.π
Cars with no spare tire!!! Anyone ever have a blowout or get road debris tear up a tire.
Totally agree with every single point. Stereo, auto stop, german options list, having to switch safety shit off every single bloody time i start the SUV (naw it isnae). Great to hear itβs not just me.
Temperature on my Peugeot 208 activates using voice control, no need to take my eyes off the road
There is a market for "new" analog cars. The Nokia of cars. New, looks modern just 80s functionality. Surely someone sees the market here?
so pleased I purchased a Hyundai I 30 Base model
ππ great video. 1, 3 & 6 for me! π
For me i would add 1. Low profile tyres 2. No spare tyre or even space for it 3. Electronic handbreaks 4. Manual handbrakes on the passenger side of the car 5. Lane keep assist 6. Overly eco engines that struggle when cold to maintain revs 7. Rear and front tyres on the same car with different profiles 8. Cars that bong if you start the engine before putting your belt on 9. Auto gearboxes (i just don't like them π)
Mazda has a fantastic interface.
Touchscreens are great When they work!!!!
