sunroof/moonroof...had a couple cars w/ them and never used them...vert's however are a different story
cruise...i hate changing my speed by more than 1 mph and cruise always does way worse. I don't feel like i'm in control, either (guess i'm really not)
heated seats are awesome for leather in cold weather and heated mirrors definitely have their uses
traction control and all that type of automatic stuff...breeds crappy drivers that rely on their cars not themselves and makes bad drivers even worse. i used to have a car w/ 2nd gear start and that actually worked pretty well.

The button I press to automatically pour glasses of champagne is useless.
The button I press to arm the missiles is useless.
The button I press to eject the passenger is useless.
I just don't know why Q bothers installing all this crap in my car.

What's up with the headrest in new cars? My father got his new company truck yesterday, a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500. The headrest is angled so far forward that you will have a sore neck if you drive around in it all day. My solution was to remove it and face it backward which did the trick but still, I don't know what the point of it is.
X2. I took off my headrest and put it on backwards. Much better.
What really, really freaks out my passengers is the doors that keep locking themselves. My mom is totally claustrophobic and it sends her through the roof. We keep unlocking them all the time.
And the idiotic "safety" windows. If your child is retarded enough to climb out of a moving vehicle's window that rolls all the way down, he'll climb out of a half-opened window, too!
And what's up with plastic bumpers?!
And NO TAPE PLAYER?! Are you kidding me? How'm I supposed to bump my Ace of Base and Four Non-Blondes with no tape player?
And why is there no option to put AC in my face and defrost at the same time?! We're forced to turn this pathetic circular knob that chooses one of six options, most of which are unsatisfactory. There was nothing wrong with the old way, where you could turn on air anywhere you liked, simultaneously or alone.
There's plenty more, but those are the most irritating that I think of first.

i saw a lady driving with her head rest pushing her head forward yesterday and i almost wrecked looking at her cuz it was so bizarre. i thought she did it herself, didn't realize they were coming out like this now
tape players? come on....go to your local library, get the CD, rip it to your ipod or mp3 player and play your ipod/mp3 player in your car now featuring ace of base and 4 non blondes
The point is that you are supposed to adjust the headrest so that the place it reaches forward to touch is the center of balance of your head. Then, when you crash, your head does not bend upward or downward and you avoid neck injury. But if you drive around with that thing shoving your skull into your collarbones for awhile, you'll get a neck injury anyway. So I take my chances and have it reversed. I am too posture-conscious to tolerate the hunch.
