Built-in Sat-Navs
I find it incredulous the price manufactures want to update a car's built-in sat-nav. My 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class cost £211 for the a recent update, way more than a brand new, top-range Tom-Tom, Garmin, etc. Also it takes 180 minutes to download!

Very common criticism. Some models such as Renaults and Mazda have built in TomToms the SD card of which can be updated online. Others have a dashboard shoe for a TomTom or Garmin that works much better than suckering the thing to the screen. And the latest simply connect with smartphones, transferring all the smartphone functions to a touch screen in the car, including the satnav app on the phone. The only problem with that is if you lose signal you lose the satnav.
