    Having to depress the clutch pedal to start the car. It's a pain when doing work on the car and you want to start it up without the faff of getting in and out.
    Apple Car Play. I will never own an Apple product, I prefer oranges.
    Heated seats, why do you need to heat your seats?

    I had an XC90 for a couple of weeks as a works rental and it must have had about 7 levers for adjusting the seats. After 5 days of fiddling I just gave up and suffered where it was bacause I was fucked if I could make it comfortable. The Hilux has 1 adjustment and its a really comfortable and a well padded seat. The XC also had heater controls via touch screen.
    Take eyes off road look for location of air con "button". Look back at road to make sure all is good. Look at touch screen and press air con button. Hit bump in road and activate Radio 3.  Look back at road and check all is good. Prod screen randomly to get rid of Radio 3 while looking at oncoming traffic lights out of corner of eye. Finally disable Radio 3. Breathe sigh of relief. Open window to let in some fresh air before you have another go at adjusting air con. Check road is clear. Take a good look at centre screen and press aircon button. Air con window appears. Check road is still there. Aircon window has a row of touch sensitive sliders. Touch slider it shows 22c. Touch is a bit lower, 18c. Touch it a bit higher 23c. Arrghh fuckit. Look at road for a while and chill out. Look at screen again. concentrate really hard and adjust slider just a smidge. Yay 21c. Look at road, all is good. Try to reset screen to map page. Car screams at you and jumps 3 feet to the right because its seen a pillar box and suspects it will jump into the road. Try and streer back into the correct lane before oncoming bus hits you.
    Hilux. You know aircon is on right hand side rotary knob. Feel for knob with arm while watching the road. Turn 1 click to the left.
    You can tell I think the XC90 is a piece of crap. But wait, theres more..........
    Autobox has P, R N, D on it. Ooh technical. I move gearknob from P to D release parking brake, press accelerator and move off. Only the car doesnt move off. Oh no. Volvo has engineered a special safety device to prevent you "accidentally" pulling away after you have deliberately put the car into gear, released the brake and pressed the accelerator. You have to "confirm" you really want D by putting it back into N and reselecting D again.  Yes, they invented the double tap gearbox just to cause extra misery on top of the shitty screen  and the cry wolf colision warning.
    But wait, theres even more...........
    Just below the screen of eternal misery, there is a big round knob. Yes, a physical control. Can you adjust the air con temp with it? Can you fuck. Its a volume control for the radio. But theres already one of those on the fucking steering wheel as well as the shitty on screen one, why does it need 3 volume controls and no physical temp control.
    Swedish wankers.

    This may be two in one. Day light running lamps. Whilst most agree that they are an important road safety feature. The issue for me is that the rear lamps are usually not lit when these are in use. To make the rear lamps work the headlamps have to be switched on. That brings me to gripe number two. Auto headlamps. They do not work in poor visibility during daylight. So No headlamps and no rear lamps due to automation for the unintelligent.

    + light- bars right across the back of cars - makes them look more like a roadblock than a vehicle.
    Any vehicle that requires downloadable updates to itself - imagine Mr Chudleigh-Warner tuning in to the wireless to update his Humber.
