Mine, 2017 Mustang GT, I only live 3 miles from work, yet I find myself having to fill up with fuel once a week.
Why......... Because some moron thought a 61L fuel tank was sufficient, it seems to manage about 220 Miles to a full tank.
So annoying, as I hate filling up with fuel, im sure they could have got a 100L tank in it?
From what you said, your daily trip to and from work amounts to 30 miles/week.Why......... Because some moron thought a 61L fuel tank was sufficient, it seems to manage about 220 Miles to a full tank.

To drain the tank, you seem to be saying that you drive another 190 miles/week on top.

The complete lack of suspension on my A3, every journey is jiggle jiggle jiggle everywhere, I've even put 16" wheels and tyres on to replace the silly 18's it came with which had improved things a little but it becoming tiresome, I'll never buy another bloody S-Line spec Audi that's for sure.
The annoying point is that they offer as a free option to deselect the sports suspension and put the normal set back on. With this they are very good for a hatchback and ride as well as most larger saloons. Shame there aren't more people that spec this.Mac. said:

E61 5 series touring. If you have the luggage cover in place and open the boot it lifts the cover up out of the way. Helpful....... as long as you remember to put it back down again before you set off....... which I never do! Blocks most of your rear view.
I had the same problem with my old E61. Solved by removing the luggage cover and leaving it in the garage.

Lack of cupholders in my car... Why build a saloon car that has a lazy V8, sumptuous seats, a fantastic hifi, floaty air-suspension and a fueltank that is good for nearly 600 miles of cruising, but then not give the driver and front seat passenger anywhere to put their beverage as the car is munching up the miles?!
Ashtrays however... I've got one in the front and three in the back.
So cupholders, and the in-built obsolescence of the SBC braking system... Thanks, Bosche.

BMW i3. Almost every time I get in it I need to fight it for control over my Bluetooth media source. Car will decide to play a random track from my phone. I want to play a podcast. Car sulks and plays nothing for the first five minutes of the journey while I fanny on changing sources and trying to persuade it to play what I want.
Contrast that to my Hilux, which just picks up whatever I was last listening to without fuss as soon as I get in the car. The most annoying thing about my Hilux is the constant tickle of static on my left elbow from the centre console storage.

Thats 2.2 mpg by my maths ?
30 miles a week ÷ 13.5 gallons
Get rid quick !
As have been pointed out by others, OP's post was a little odd, but yours is even more so.30 miles a week ÷ 13.5 gallons
Get rid quick !

Nissan GTR. It beeps when you put it into reverse. Not an external beep, oh no, just in the cabin. I know it is in reverse I have just selected reverse, don't need a constant beep beep to tell me!
My Century does that too. I'm not brave enough to have a rummage and snip a wire though.On my BMW E61 - someone in the past has replaced the windscreen with one that doesn't have the rain sensor thingy so i have no intermittent/auto wipers. So i either have them full on or have to manually flick them on for a single wipe. Screen is completely covered in tiny speck type chips as well, don't think my windscreen cover would replace it ?

Would be a shame if your screen got cracked

Assuming you use the 'stang for the 3-mile-each-way commute, I'd like to point out that a fair chunk of your overal journey is spent with the engine on he cold start cycle, pouring fuel into the engine until it warms up2016 Honda civic - when the cabin gets hot (like when it's been in the car park on a hot day), the trim around the glove box rattles. I can stop this rattling by opening the glove compartment door, and leaving it open. It;s not the glove box door that rattles, it's the trim above it. Once it cools down, rattles go away.

It has bluetooth, but not the kind of bluetooth that connects to any mobile phone you would own these days.
Apparently the type of bluetooth in common use changed around 2009, and so what most people have in an Android or Apple phone is different to the Nokias and Sony Ericsons of 2009.
My car was made mid-2009, if I'd got a later 2009 model they put in the new bluetooth stuff that would still work to this day.
Also, I seem to be a magnet for punctures.
