New car features that you hate and make you think less of the person for adopting and making mainstream.

I’m about to sell my 2023 Bronco to get a 1986 Silverado solely because it doesn’t have a computer in it. I like the idea of being able to fix shit on my truck when it breaks & you really can’t do that with new cars.

American fan told me he downwgraded from a 2020 Hyundai (point and laugh, fellas) to a 2009 Chevy car. I dunno, their small one, like an Astra size, but a coupe? I don't remember the name.

Anyway, he says he's already been able to change the air filter, cabin filter, and even the bloody fuses on it, which is way more than he could do on the previous one. I can't even remember the last fucking time I've been able to work on a car. It's gotten so God damn complicated.

I ought to go pick up an 80s scirocco for a lark, beat the piss out of the thing. Probably couldn't kill it if I tried.

Completely digital dashboards, like where the speedometer is and everything. It's all just a computer monitor.
What the fuck's going to happen when that shit breaks/crashes/etc? What happens 20 years down the line when you wanna restore an old car but discover everything you need for it to work is on a fucking screen and the parts are obsolete from some gay ass tech company.

Fortunately, nobody is going to want to restore those gay ass new cars.

Automatic High Beams - Shit and worse than useless
Automatic windshield wipers - shit
Touch screens for climate controls - fuck awfff
Button only volume control - yeah I wanna press this button 13 fucking times instead of twisting a knob once
Dinging sounds of any kind for any reason other than I’m about to break the car.

The most egregious feature is this automatic high-beam option, where the car senses ambient light (other cars) and adjusts its own headlights accordingly. It's meant to be used outside of the city, but most people are so retarded they don't know what it is and the let their headlights schizophrenically flicker as other cars trigger the sensor, or the high-beams are on permanently and blast everyone with these baseball stadium LEDs.
