What feature on a car would stop you from buying it?

[OutHouse]

for me, I will never buy a car where the gas cap is on the passenger side.

 

[dougp]

They still do that?

I wouldn't buy a car that doesn't have powerlocks/windows. Been there, hated that ...

 

[OUCaptain]

Is the Ford emblem considered a feature?

otherwise, nothing I can think of.

 

[Canai]

Any sort of automatic adjustments to anything on the stereo. My mom's Passat quiets the sound when you slow down, and it gets louder the faster you go.

 

[Mucho]

I wouldn't buy a car that have turbo charge

Agreed.

What's wrong with a gas cap on the driver side???

I hate the new cars that won't let you listen to the radio when you exceed 85mph. I thinks you are having an emergency when you go that fast and shuts down.

I don't see anyone who said there was a problem with it on the driver's side.

What's wrong with a turbo?

Wasn't it the first gen G35 coupe that had a tampon in the glove compartment? It was supposed to be part of the first aid kit or something.

My mom's Camry (07) has that; it's an option you can turn off. On the Camry stock stereo I believe it's called ASL (automatic sound limiter?).

My car has a turbo and the gas cap on the passenger side.

For me, the ultimate deal-killer is automatic transmission.

My GLI is the same way, in fact, all VW's are like that, I think most if not all German vehicles are the same way.

Back to the topic. What I hate are loads and loads of plastic on the inside, drum brakes, body kits, touring size tires, and RWD except if it's a 4x4 truck.

 

[Perknose]

Real life gas mileage -- measured and continually rechecked by resetting the trip odometer -- under 20mpg. In fact, I want significantly more if I can find it in a vehicle that suits my needs and that I like.

 

[woodie1]

I hate the stupid looking 'spoilers' on the back. They do spoil the looks for me.

 

[Modelworks]

If they ever put that annoying talking computer back in cars.
I hated those ones in the 80's.
"Your door is ajar" !
"Your door is ajar" !
"Your door is ajar" !
"Your door is ajar" !
"Your door is ajar" !


And you couldn't turn it off !

 

[TheSlamma]

If it has an ECU. I want simple easy to work on and the least amount of cheap plastic shit to break. When this 95 Corolla breaks I'm goin old again. Damn I miss my old cars.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

I would not buy any car that:

has an auto tranny;
has 4 doors;
has onboard nav;
has a spoiler;
has the gas cap BEHIND THE LICENSE PLATE.

I guess that's about it... i'm indifferent to power windows/mirrors/door locks/etc and other typical features.

 

[Gunslinger08]

High gas mileage.

 

[ranmaniac]

I wouldn't buy a car without cruise control, as I was glad I got a car that had that feature when I had to drive from Phoenix to Houston, it saved me a bit of sanity, given how unscenic the drive was.

Nutty. Mine has an option to increase the volume with speed.
