Most useless features on a car.

1. Went to Houston 3 weeks ago and rented a Kia Sorrento. the most useless feature on that car was the options in the display where it list the outside temp & direction, well i pushed the button to see what the gas milage was on it and it didnt give me that, instead it listed the altimeter and barometric pressure... :disgust:

2. Went to houston last sat and rented a Cadillac DeVille, nice car and the V-8 Nordstrom engine hauled serious ass, but when I put the car in reverse both the side mirrors would tilt down so i was looking at the ground. I guess that is good if you are parking next to a curb but backing out of parking spot it was most stupid. The other useless feature on the caddy was the steering wheel warmer. Now if they made a steering wheel cooler for those hot summer days where your hand melts to the wheel, that would be cool.

ok, your turn list your most useless features on a car.

Literally. 😀

You should patent that idea.
 
Ye wheel heater would not be useless in a primarily cold area. I would love a wheel heater here in NC right now, but during the summer a wheel cooler like you said would be great also.
 
Most useless: Car electric ports, even though there is no hot plug or ash tray. Why not come up with a better dc standard. 😛

I live in New England and the steering wheel heater is really nice. Heats up instantly and I don't have to worry about wearing gloves when I first start driving. As far as useless feature I'd have to go with the feature on the seat that moves it back from the steering wheel when you shut off the car. Being tall it won't even move it, so it really is useless to me!

yea i agree on the seat thing. the caddy had that too and since time was short i didnt have time to program the seat position so everytime i got out i had to readjust the seat.
