Figured I put this here. Since this is a community of car enthusiast, we all share our passion for cars. But surely, everyone has their own annoyances with cars as well - whether its a particular brand, particular car, or all cars in general. I'm wondering what bothers you guys the most?
For me, its this.
This is pretty much what I see whenever I'm driving any car. Since I started driving, I've owned probably over 10 different cars, and drove many many more on different occasions. If I had to guess, I'd say I drove at least 50 different cars. In all of the cars I drop the steering wheel down (and pull it all the way forward if it has telescoping option), and being a taller person the steering wheel completely blocks the view of my gauges. I could of course raise the steering wheel up, but then I would be compromising my favorite driving position.
One of my cars has a HUD (heads-up display) option that projects some of the information onto the windshied, and that helps a lot, but how hard can it be for manufacturers to design gauges in such way that they are not blocked by steering wheel?
And I hope nobody mentions those cheesy cheap cars, like Toyota Echo, where gauges are mounted in the center of the dash.
