The WORST new car trends of 2022!

Trends are getting worse, I'm not just talking about ticking dances or crocodiles in socks making a comeback, oh no I'm talking about car

trends

, seeing car manufacturers always trying to improve their cars by incorporating new features or changing the design. It doesn't always work, although sometimes it has the opposite effect and in this video I am going to tell you about the

worst

new car

trends

that will drive you crazy buying selling cars. Wow, let's start this video with what I think is one of the

worst

trends in modern cars and their soft limiters now they don't care about soft limiters being installed on normal cars but on high performance cars, what is it about?

I understand the reasoning behind a soft limiter, so it's to comply with noise regulations, it helps reduce emissions that don't. I don't want someone sitting there revving their engine mindlessly, but really, if you have a car High-performance sports car like an Audi R8, you'll want to be able to let your mates hear it accelerate because, let's face it, pretty soon it won't. Be it any car with an internal combustion engine for us to enjoy, let's have one last hurray, hey, I mean this is what the audi r8 sounds like. Many Audis have soft limiters and many other manufacturers, Porsche for example, have a soft limiter on the 911 turbo s.

This is what a 911 turbo sounds like when you're standing still and accelerating it. Fortunately, some manufacturers are not installing soft limiters. The old BMW is one of them, for example, listen to this BMW M5cs accelerate while stopped up to its redline. Making it even sadder, actually, my next annoying trend is for cars to be equipped with lane keeping assist and warning. Now they're not a problem in themselves, in fact they've saved me a few times from spinning around on the freeway and all that. But the good thing is that they are not so good when you are driving on a winding country road, they just don't seem as well calibrated, sometimes you need to cross the line because there is a pothole or the road is very narrow or there is something sticking out over the edge or you are trying of dodging a pheasant and then it's whistling at you or the stingray pulls the other way trying to guide you towards what you're trying to avoid, it can drive you a little crazy. i have a toyota gi yaris it says you can turn off the lane departure warning when you select that option it's still bloody warns you drive me crazy on a toyota gr yaris that's designed to get hit on tight country roads drives me crazy Next new annoying Trend in cars is fake grills on electric cars.

Now I can forgive electric cars that also have an internal combustion engine. Take for example the BMW i4, which shares its body with the BMW 4 series, so they have to put something where the grille would be for the internal combustion car that needs cooling, but what about cars that are Do they custom build from scratch? Electric vehicles like the audi q4. Why does it have to have a grill as big and stupid as the BMW IX built from scratch? the car needs all that cooling no, what's with that big stupid grill, especially that beaver tooth grill?

Now I understand the brand identity but surely there is a better way to make this work instead of just installing big dumb grills, for example the new tesla s model without grill looks very stylish from the front Porsche tycoon beautiful car with no grill even the regular vw id3 doesn't have a big dumb grill and it's a pretty cool little electric car it's not hard another thing that bothers me I'll take the door handles off now I understand why manufacturers fit and They look great. You know you have a flush body and then you're going to stick the handle in and it opens brightly, however it's not as bright as some.

These systems work, it's just a fallacy and there are others that aren't actually motorized and you just have to stick your thumb in like the kia ev6 and the way you hold them is weird, it's just harder to open the door. of holding them like you're giving some kind of handshake instead of just grabbing a handle, another thing that bothers me personally is that EVs with the charging port right in the middle of their grill are now somehow good because you can just know right in a parking space and since you're never sure which side the charger will be on you can always get the cable too because it's not that far away because it's in the middle of the car, what I find annoying is the fact that it forces me into a space, I always like to back out of a space because it's safer when you're pulling back because you can see more clearly if there are other cars cutting in front of you, another problem with having The Port charging port in the front of the car is that if you have a head-on collision you will most likely damage that port so you won't be able to charge your car, while you wait for it to be fixed you won't actually be able to use it otherwise the car manufacturers Cars have tried to improve their vehicles, but they actually made them worse, is by equipping them with touch-sensitive buttons, particularly touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel that not only work by just being brushed, but sometimes you can also operate them by pressing them.

An example is the Range Rover Velar and the latest VW products. They are so difficult to use that you just don't know how to skip the menus. It's easier to have a button that you press to make it work rather than being able to swipe or press it. Electric cars that don't have front boots are confusing. What is that all about? I now know that certain electric cars are actually based on an internal combustion engine. models and I can understand why they don't have a front trunk because yes those cars used to have a big internal combustion engine under the hood so it takes a lot of reengineering to build a recessed area to store stuff whatever that is.

An electric car built from scratch will have enough space under the hood for some storage, but some manufacturers don't even bother, for example Volkswagen with the id3, another is BMW with the ix, huge car, you think you would have a lot of space under . It's the hood, but you can't even open the hood. Tesla, you do this so well, such a big boot in the back and a useful little storage area in the front, even when you have a dual motor car with an electric motor in the front too. They managed to find enough space to store the charging cables under the hood.

Another annoying trend in cars is to complicate things and electrify things that don't need to be electrified, for example it makes a lot of sense for the trunk of an SUV to be electrically operated because it's obviously a big, heavy tailgate that you don't have to lift and is fairly tall. You know you just want to be able to press one button. Why have that feature in a sedan? You know you have to press the button. then you will wait for the motor to run and you can press a button, wait for it to close slowly too when it is much easier just pick it up, put your stuff in it and slam it shut no sense and what about Tesla with their glove box there is no button to open the glove box, so you have to do it through the menu screen or using a voice command.

Plug-in hybrids are another annoying car trend you see, as far as I'm concerned they're the worst. Of all worlds, they are not very good as electric cars and they are not very good as internal combustion engine cars, the reason is that when you drive using only battery power, you have to carry an internal system. combustion engine with you and often the batteries are so small due to packaging that they can't go as far on electric power, then you are driving an internal combustion engine car with an on-board battery and an electric motor, once again , No. For example, the Kia Sorento plug-in hybrid is being used, so it's a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor and Kia says the car should be able to get 177 miles per gallon, but you're looking at it through the lens. battery charge if you go a decent distance in and you'll end up running mostly on the internal combustion engine and when I put the cursor on plug-in hybrid I averaged 37 miles per gallon, not particularly good, we finally get to the tenth annoying new car trend and it's Increasingly installing digital exterior mirrors in cars so that instead of a normal rearview mirror, it has a camera that displays an image on a small screen below the camera, usually on the door panel.

Now I can understand why manufacturers do this - they improve the aerodynamics of the car, which means you'll have less wind noise and you'll have slightly better economy - but there are five real practical problems with this setup. The first is that you have to retrain your brain on where to look. Everyone is used to looking there for a mirror, but now you have to look away wherever the screen is is not good, another thing that is not good is that when you look in the mirror your peripheral vision catches the cars on the window that are next to you and you won't be able to do this if you're looking somewhere else, like down or toward the front of the car, wherever the screen might be.

Another problem is that you don't get depth perception in the camera feed like you do when looking in a mirror, so you can't be so sure how far away the car you're looking at is. Another problem is not only for you, the driver, but also for other road users, especially cyclists and motorcyclists. They often use the outside mirrors to see if anyone is actually there. the driver's seat or if that driver is about to get out of his or her car. I am a cyclist. I do it a lot and it saved my neck several times while traveling around London.

If there is a camera there, I can't do it anymore. You could end up walking too close to a car that is about to open the door and yeah, that won't be good. Is it another problem? What happens when someone knocks on your door mirror camera? It will be cheaper to replace a mirror than a camera surely, finally there is the question of aesthetics, somehow they are not seen, good car door mirrors can look really great and add to the aesthetics of the vehicle, especially in the performance cars, they're almost like bug antennas now, they just look somehow. cool, while cars without dormers look a bit like people without ears, yes exactly, I hope you all enjoyed the video, if you gave it a like, if you want to see more videos, click on those windows over there and , if you click on that box over there, you can check out a car to see how much it's really worth.

All you have to do is upload a few photos and then our dealers will bid on your car and if you think the price is good, you could easily sell it to them.
