And that's the reason why car manufacturers put these things in their cars. We know it's ridiculous, but a lot of people kinda like that stuff. I don't blame anyone. I still chuckle when I see expensive cars with fake exhausts tho. Especially during the winter when you can clearly see no steam coming from the fake exhausts.

Similar to the start/stop button trend that bothers me are key fobs that don't have a hole to attach it to a keyring, it's just more cumbersome to carry and keep track of two separate pieces instead of being able to keep it together

Having to put the key into ignition was really annoying, the key is often attached to several others, that then just rattle around hanging there. The startbutton is a good invention here.

To turn on the seat heater, you press the climate control knob, but this doesn't turn it on, it just brings up the complicated graphical menu for the seat heaters, where you then select the bottom or back of the seat, and click the "up" arrow to turn it on. Only, you can't do this when you first start the car as the whole thing is booting up, and you can't do it until you've reversed off the drive either, as the controls don't work when the reversing camera is using the screen... It's bizarre - as you say you (quite rightly) should not be dialing numbers on your phone while driving, but have a full Windows desktop for turning on the heating.

I fully support your view on these fake exhaust (or even real ones protruding from the bumpers) and the controls all imbedded in the computer screens. Just not practical for owners!

That start button is really nitpicking. I've got one on my Toyota Auris Hybrid and I love it. My key chain has my car keys, house keys, garage keys and a clip so I can easily hang it up at home. All the stuff used to just be hanging and banging everywhere and the easy start button got rid of that. It's also much faster to start if you're in a hurry and no scratches around the key hole.

All of you out there, please remember this, each time you're speccing up your car to buy: every electronic gadget is just a way to get your money cheaply. Every "option" is FAR less expensive to build than the price they charge for it. Every new electronic way to operate something that used to be mechanical (handbrake, start button, any knob or button on the dash) is a cheap substitute which is cheaper to build than the original mechanical kind and which is marketed as a "clever", "modern" and "comfortable" alternative. But it's just clumsier and more dangerous to operate.

Ford Fiesta didn't need fake noise exhaust would normally fall off and you have all the noise you ever wanted

every point you made is on my list too. I will not buy a car where I have to go into the entertainment system to increase the fan speed. When I started driving cars, (a very long time ago) there was an ignition key and a pull lever (I think lever is the best name) to start the engine. We also had to get out of the car and turn the rear lights on! It was a long time ago. So some changes were an advantage. Heaters and fans were an optional extra.

8:20 about the "line" badges, Opel (which is the german vauxhaul or buick) also owns up to that trend with the "OPC-Line" which as some of you may already guessed is the VXR variants, for example the Astra VXR is the Astra OPC. the Insignia VXR is the Insignia OPC ,etc.

Wouw. I fully agree with all of them ( a bit less with start/stop button, discussable). Most of the cars become ridiculous honestly. Thanks for this excellent video.

You forgot the worst trend of all: huge wheels with ridiculously low-cut tires and almost no rubber, mounted for no reason on family and saloon cars as well as small SUVs, resulting in less comfort in daily use (and the tires are more expensive to replace). Even worse: as you move up to premium trims of the same car, you get bigger wheels and less rubber, so premium models are less comfortable than the entry-level ones. It started as a sales argument, trying to lure buyers to spend more on their new car: If you'll shell out a couple of grand more, we'll give you this and that, and ah... you'll get BIGGER WHEELS (which you really don’t need) - Bigger is better right? wrong in this case.

@@lostsquirrel788 it's good because less engine means less emission? That's a way to common mistake. No, smal 3cyl engines are mostly even worse for climate. On higher speed (and I mean 90 kph or higher) the smal engine has to work very hard where a big engine runs smoothly. It's also better for the health of the engine. And changing engines more frequently because they tend to break down more often then 4 or 6 cylinders isn't good for climate either.

I can imagine where the fake vents come from: - Designers draw the car with lots of vents everywhere because it looks really fast and sporty - Engineers actually put the design through CFD analysis and find out the grills actually make the car less aerodynamic and slower - Designers/directors won't budge and really want them in because they look so cool - Engineers put the grills in, but block them off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With the new supra, yes, the vents are fake, but they’re designed to be removed or replace it with a legit on.

The problem is them using completely arbitrary numbers that can't be compared to anything else for a frame of reference, when they would have gone with something more useful and logical like, say, a rough power output figure.

Thank you for making the list! Helps also to comment the points a bit better :) 1 - Agree! For me it's already at the point where I would refuse to buy a car with such fake exhausts. Already have to accept they cheat on the emission regulations! 2 - I wonder why there wasn't mentioned more buttons that have to be buttons, e.g. volume, seat heater, PDC... There's plenty of other stuff that currently is a physical button/control that doesn't need to be (e.g. light - that's a button that gets touched ONCE in all of the car's life, to set it to auto, done). Touch screens also have the disadvantage that they have to be relatively close to you, so you can touch them even if you have shorter arms. So they have to be placed further out of view than just a screen, not good. 3 - That is a ridiculuous penis extension on the inside, and should be plainly illegal on the outside. Installing stuff who's only purpose is to annoy people you drive by...idiots. 4 - It looks shit yes. BMW's now look all pig-faced. 5 - Actually think what e.g. BMW does here is correct. The 318, 320, 330 all have the same 2.0L engine with different turbos etc. They keep their old system to be in line with what people expect in terms of power. Audi on the hand are just idiots, they put just bigger fantasy numbers there to trick people. 6 - agree 7 - agree 8 - Hell no, that can look great. Has to be within limits (e.g. not glaringly bright) but can be a nice style component. 9 - Putting 10 gears on a car that is intended to be shifted manually (e.g. flappy paddles) is mighty stupid. On all the others that's totally fine - whatever the calculation result between weight, cost, reliability, efficieny, fun turns out to be should be installed 10 - Don't like it? Don't buy it. It's just a question of style. 11 - Clearly the fault of the people buying it, not of the carmaker. Putting 3k€ for M-package on an 116i instead of upgrading the engine clearly is stupid, but if people want to...? 12 - Nah, I like it. It's not suitable if you have children in your car often or transport stuff etc., but then simply don't select it. 13 - Eco mode in an M or AMG is a bit pointless yes, but it's software that's basically free, so I get why they put it anyway 14 - No! The starter button is great! There are some cars where you have to put the key in a slot, then push a button - that is clearly stupid. Otherwise not having to take out key from pocket, bag etc. is the whole point of the keyless entry & start. Keep that!

I always wondered why my 2001 330Ci sounded like it had a V12 under the hood, haha. This video was much needed, thanks and cheers.

I'm intrigued - you call a tow truck, how long does that take? What about if it's the middle of the night/weekend/holiday, on an interstate miles from anywhere? And what does the tow truck do exactly if your tire is completely dead, does he replace your wheel with the tyre that you want or just tow it to a garage that's closed and you need to get to your destination? How much does all that cost and is it the same for every car/tire? With a spare wheel you change it in like 15 minutes and you're good to go, no cost until you have to change your damaged tire at a garage of your choosing, with a tire of your choice, e.g. online, from hundreds available. By the way, when he said slashed tires, he's not talking about someone actually slashing them, he's talking about damaged tires, e.g. rocks, nails, glass, etc.
