What premium features on cars or trucks are BS or that you never use, etc

The first one that comes to mind is that stupid leg move that opens your truck, worthless and doesn’t work.
I can’t ever get the self park to work right ether.
Every car or truck I have had last 20 years has a sunroof. I rarely ever open them and we have giant old live oaks everywhere in my neighborhood so the drains get stopped up and they end up leaking etc. I never really want them but they just come on the car.
These giant 21-22 inch tires they like to put on everything. I can’t tell any real difference other than they cost 200-500 a piece to replace.

Cruise control. I drive the car; I don't let the car drive me 
Sunroof is right up there too.

This will be unpopular and it certainly could be user error but I hate the adaptive cruise control on our Toyotas

You are off your rocker. Cruise control, and even adaptive cruise control, is the jam.
It is cruise control, not self driving. You are still in control of the wheel, not Jesus.

I made fun of it at first but I recently used the feature that hunted for open parking spots at an event when I had a car load of kids. It was handy but I wouldn’t miss it if it were gone. May never use it again.

Mine, you just have to stand near the trunk with your key and it will open after about 5 seconds of standing there. It almost works too well
It is very nice when carrying bags or groceries and such. quote:

I use mine all the time when the weather is nice
I'd say for me, it is apple car play. Partly because mine still requires a wired connection. All i'm generally using my phone for is playing music, so bluetooth works just fine. Car has its own nav system, so it just isn't a feature I ever use.

I have the backup assist knob in my truck. I don't even know how to use it, and I refuse to.

That sounds like a feature I would like to have.

Truth. Though, the adaptive cruise control I have, really not even having to steer. It is phenomenal for long trips.

I use every feature my bare bones pickup has.

What is your main issue with it? I have a hyundai and it's adaptive is fantastic, so curious how different the two systems may be.

Automatic wipers, they never do anything I want. Toyota's radar cruise control, I never use it that way, I just hold the button down for old fashioned cruise.

Air ride suspension was nice while it worked. But a pain in the arse, literally, when it broke.
I’ll just stick with conventional shocks from now on.

Lane assist and collision mitigation are actively harmful. I will not buy a car that can't totally disable lane assist and turn collision mitigation down enough to effectively disable it.

You’re the one who can’t keep a steady speed and is just in my way on the interstate.

Mainly overbraking at random car lengths
Our vehicles are 5+ years old so it’s probably much better now

Lane (change) assist. Absolutely hate it. Disabled on every vehicle I own. Also, disable in any rental I drive as soon as I get in the vehicle.
