auto aircon when selecting windscreen demist / heater - why do they do this? I know how to select if desired
auto lights - just keep them on
auto windscreen wipers - I am able to operate the controls so leave the lever at the off positon unless using the wipers
auto dip rear view mirror - invariably the dipping action is too slow, unresponsive and fails when required
lack of sunroof - open the roof and let the sunshine in
lack of rear window wiper - a dry window is easier to see through in wet weather and reduces the misting when wet
unheated door mirrors - heating is an excellent safety aid on the cold mornings
single rear fog lamp (if on side) - like being a one eyed bandit (no offence to those who have lost an eye), but a central lamp is an acceptable option
single reversing lamp - easy to miss and only does half a job
leather upholstery - too temperature sensitive, both summer and winter
manual rear windows - I can't open them from the driver's seat
cvt gearbox - having driven one I hated it, normal auto or manual gearbox
dayglo LED strip DLR - yet to see a set up on a car that actually looks good, and I think will be expensive to replace if fails
lack of proper spare - no gloop or skiiny space savers please!
foot operated hand brake - had one of these in a car hired in California, it was an interesting experience trying to pull away from traffic lights at the top of hill, I have only 2 feet and needed 3 (the creep was not powerful enough to stop the car from rolling backwards, I needed one foot for footbrake, one for the gas pedal and one to release the hand brake at the right moment)
large size wheels and/or low profile tyres - pushes up the price when buying new tyres
difficult to get to lights - if a bulb fails, I want to change it, quickly and easily
