Just following a Citroen C4 and noticed how pointless the rear wiper was. It clears an area about the size of a postage stamp! hehe



Any others??

the Megane rear wiper was also pretty small, but not as small as the C4.

My submission - this:

Gauges on the Hyundai coupe v6, from left - torque, MPG and voltage.

I could think of a use for the middle one, but mostly would avoid looking at it because it was usually around 15-20. The voltmeter I guess could be useful if you thought you had a faulty alternator (I never needed it in the 4.5 years I owned the car). The torque gauge ... could never think of a use for it.

Fog lights are pretty pointless other than to let you know when an idiot is driving the car.

I like the Hyundai's optimism of having it up to 40mpg I guess? And to have the dials going from left to right... :P

Any of the guages in my Chim....don't think i've ever had all of them working properly at once wink At one point only the tacho was the only one doing its job!! Think last time I drove it it was just the clock that was totally fubar and the temp guage was its usual erratic self. Got to love TVR.
