Keyless entry, stop start systems and electric handbrakes in cars.

Was going to change the car but cannot get a one without all that crap. :grumble

:agree
And totally a LCD second dash I was looking at a picasso and the radio -air con - heating controls are on one LCD dash if the radio is on you have to "navigate" to the heating section to change that and then navifocinggate back taking your eyes off the road --stupid. 
Also push button start WTF - it actually takes longer than putting a key in and turning - all one action, but a push button you first push the keyfob in a hole in the dash and then press the start button -stupid.
AND i want a CD player please !!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of these features are becoming pretty much standard across the ranges now tho.

If you want a new car you're probably going to have to accept some of these things.

I'm not hankering for an electric handbrake and an engine that keeps cutting out, but what choice is there now?.

They lay half an inch of salt on the roads round this way nearly every night, so cars only have a limited life span I guess.

At least most of the new large saloon cars are stunning to look at unlike most of the new bikes where there now appears to be a competition to see who can come up with the most ugly disjointed look possible.

+1 with the ugly motorcycles on offer today. They look unfinished, and what is it with the seat heights. I couldnt throw a leg over most of em (29" inside leg) without putting my spine out
