9 DISGUSTING Features on Modern Cars That Make Me SICK (Number 4 Should Be ILLEGAL) Modern cars are full of tech, screens and fake “premium” touches – but behind the marketing gloss, manufacturers are quietly making cars objectively worse to drive, harder to live with, and more expensive to maintain. From piano black plastic that scratches if you breathe on it, to €120,000 luxury cars with FAKE exhaust tips that aren’t even connected to the exhaust, this video exposes 9 disgusting features that prove the industry has completely lost respect for drivers. If you bought a new car in the last five years, chances are you’ve already paid for several of these insults. We’ll start with the scratch-magnet interior trend: cheap piano black trim chosen because it photographs well, not because it survives real life. Then we move on to fake exhausts on six-figure German “premium” cars, touch-sensitive steering wheels and controls that randomly activate the wrong function, and plasticky “carbon” that’s just printed garbage sold at real-carbon prices. You’ll see how cost-cutting, design theatre and marketing spin have replaced honest engineering and long-lasting materials. It gets worse: we dig into fake engine sound pumped through the speakers to convince you your four-cylinder sounds like a six, electronic door handles that freeze shut in winter or fail when you actually need them, gloss black wheels that are impossible to keep clean, and start-stop systems you can’t permanently disable – even though they punish starters, batteries and flywheels to save a thimble of fuel. None of these are accidents. They’re deliberate choices to save a few euros in production and make thousands back in “premium options” and repairs. If you’re tired of being treated like you won’t notice the difference between real and fake, between honest function and cheap theatre, this breakdown is for you. We’re calling out the brands, the tricks, and the fake “innovations” that make modern cars worse than the ones they replaced – and why more and more enthusiasts are hunting for pre-gimmick cars instead of playing along. #moderncars #cardesignfail #carfeatures #bmw #mercedes #audi #volkswagen #carlife #carowners #carenthusiast #autotrends #carinterior #underthebonnet
