  • I obviously love cars as I have a blooming RUclips channel about them, but there is a lot of things about cars, particuarly modern cars, that suck quite a bit.
    So in this video, I am going to share with you the Car Babble top 10 things about modern cars that are either just really annoying or properly need to die. Suspect I'll get some heat on this one but I hope you see the humorous side of it...!

    I would pay extra to not have Stop start and the doors automatically locking themselves.

      You should be able to disable those in the cars settings, or at least on mine it does.

      Yes but you have to do it every time you get in the car and sometimes they are a nightmare to actually switch off

      If you go to the dealer they can set the Auto-Stop to default to OFF - but they'll charge you an arm and a leg for the privilege.
      Instead - one can simply buy a Carista scanner and pay a little subscriber fee and do it yourself - just check the website to make sure your car is supported. The cost of the scanner and small subscriber fee would almost certainly be less than the dealer rip off. Plus you'll have a nice tool to play with.

      To be fair the reason behind this with a lot of manufacturers is to do with final weight. The first year road tax is still determined by co2 so by removing the wheel some cars are hundreds of pounds cheaper in the first year.

    Car options - this is so bad on JLR products even the salesmen can't work out what a car has sometimes without just going to look at it. Packs, individual options, things becoming standard then not standard year by year, some options vanish for a year then return later.
    Lane keep assist is a bloody misery especially on the newest cars that won't remember the setting. Mandated unfortunately by the latest set of EU rubbish. Kia lane assist is so fussy that it feels like you have no control whatsoever. Jaguar lane assist is fairly laid back and you can leave it on without realising it's there until you deliberately cross a lane without indicating. However both have one thing in common, on the same bit of the M25 they've tried to steer me into traffic due to wet road reflections on a diagonal road repair. Absolute liability.
    And touchscreens can F off. I was recently car shopping and struck some new versions of cars off the list because they'd gone even further down the touchscreen road and there weren't even climate controls. Settled on a used one with a reassuring array of buttons in the end.

  • @Chris-yc3mm
    @Chris-yc3mm 23 дня назад

    For me i would add
    1. Low profile tyres
    2. No spare tyre or even space for it
    3. Electronic handbreaks
    4. Manual handbrakes on the passenger side of the car
    5. Lane keep assist
    6. Overly eco engines that struggle when cold to maintain revs
    7. Rear and front tyres on the same car with different profiles
    8. Cars that bong if you start the engine before putting your belt on
    9. Auto gearboxes (i just don't like them 😂)

      Auto stop-start can be set to default to the OFF setting by the dealer. However, they'll charge a lot for it. Instead use a carista scanner and pay a small subscription fee and do it yourself. Just check to make sure your car is supported. It also supports other settings, depending on your vehicle.

  • @alfiecumming2710

    Agreed about Auto Stop/start. Nearly had an accident in my wife's Skoda Kamiq at a roundabout, slowed down for entry, and just as my space appeared to enter the roundabout, the engine died thinking I was stopping. Then when I hit the gas the gas it spluttered into start again losing the 2 or so seconds time I had to pull out before the next car came. Of course getting an angry horn blast into the bargain from the bloke I screwed up...
    EV owners smugness, very annoying... or it is until they go to trade them in.😁

    Couldn't agree more about fake SUVs, imo they are literally the dumbest cars class of cars on the road. To make them worse they are responsible for the decline of one of my favourite class of car, the estate car.
