Volkswagen Beetles have a flower vase mounted on the dash.

My previous Olds had a light on each front corner that lit up when the turn signal is engaged. Good idea, bad execution because they didn't point in a useful direction.

The new Buick Lucerne has heated windshield washer fluid! Sounds like a great idea--anyone has that feature?

traction control and esp.....while seeming useless in the dry,are awesomely effective in hairy situations, especially in the snow, you can check it out on 5th gear if you want, ive got the episode somewhere where tiff shows just how usefull they are. i cant host though.

BMW's I-DRIVE has got to be up there with most useless.

What car does that? My Civic has the cup holders below the center console, so anything you put in them is in front of the stick.

Those stupid seat belts that move when you open the door on my friends Probe annoy the fvck out of me. I also hate the turn signals on the mirror and the back-up video screens. If you don't have the skill to manuver your vehicle without electronic aids you should not be driving it imo.

The new Mustang: Pic - My elbow would hit any cup behind the stick.

It's fine for those that got the slushbox: pic

Oh well, I don't allow food or drinks in my car, so it's a moot point. The stick is in a good spot though.

Many luxury cars have that. Usually the fluid itself isn't heated, rather the nozzel that it comes out of.

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.

You're not supposed to use your mirrors to back out of a parking spot, you turn your head and look. Steering wheel warmer would be nice in the winter.

I've always found rear view mirrors pointless

 

[Riverhound777]

My Mazda 3 has that. It depends how tall the drink it. i've used it and not had much trouble hitting it really. But i rest my elbow on the consol above it, not level with the stick.

All the cool people hook their $50 mp3 player to their radio through a tape deck converter

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

The little pockets in the dash that you are supposed to put change in that have like a 1/4 inch lip. One bumpy road and you have quarters flying everywhere. :|

Unless Subaru has redesigned this finally the cup holder in the Legacy. When you use it the cups block access to the radio controls.

Hood ornaments are quite useful for adding puncture wounds to blunt-force trauma. :thumbsup:

you dont use your mirrors? I actually use both, the mirrors do provide a better view down each side of the car.
