Your cars most useless feature
all cars come with a whole heap of crap these days in terms of features etc
what is on your car that you really find surplus to requirments
I have a sport mode on my tiptronic gearbox - in 3 years of ownership I have never used it, why, if i want to hold a gear I can use the manual mode
and I rarely use "Climate Control", i have the blower on "heat" or the air con on full "cold", or in the tricky Autumn and Spring months - open the window
but memory seats are very handy

The electric seats on my shogun - or any car really - not hard to move the seat with a lever and saves a load of weight (and complications years down the line). Same goes for the electric steering column.
Also the electronic diff on the shogun - give me normal mechanical lsd anytime.
Traction control on my BMW just seems to flash a led and cut the power - again a normal mechanical lsd would transform the car.

My 911's alarm won't set if the glovebox is accidentally left open but if you leave the front boot ajar that's fine

The fuel gauge on my Evo is pathetic
the slightest gradient or even turning round a corner can alter the reading massively
