The most pointless feature on a car EVER?
 
Friend of mine has a recent (09 plate I think?) Audi A6.

There is a button on the dash I'd not seen before, so I asked what it did.

It opened the glovebox electrically.

Why??????????

Anybody seen anything more pointless than this?? From any age of car, any country etc.

Bolin.

Its how Audi, which sell overpriced jumped up VWs compete with better brands like BMW and Mercedes.

The most pointless feature ever is probably a Key for a TVR. The chances of it working long enough to need a key is extremely remote.

I think the button on ours that changes the temp from deg c to farenheit is a bit of a waste of time!

The self closing doors on BMW's (and others) are pretty silly.
The owners arm muscles will waste away............... and drop off hopefully:getmecoat:

It paralyses the face muscles making you incapable of any expression apart from bewilderment.
