The fact the radio doesn't turn down and the wiper doesn't wipe when I reverse. Until such time I become an invalid who can't press buttons, I don't need the car to do it for me. And if I want to move the mirror I'll that myself as well.
Did one want a starter motor to start his engine, or will you do it manually.....
...... things which just make driving that little bit easier

What small, seemingly insignificant features on your car do you like that many might not think twice about?
For me, I love the absolutely enormous arm rest; it just makes it feel so much more relaxing.
Another is the auto park feature is nice, once you come to a stop the parking brake will come on so you can take your foot off the brake.... It's nice and also helps prevent you blinding the person behind you.
So, over to you.

I have a 1.3 CDTI Corsa van and you know the handles for driver and passenger inside above your head that sort of fold down? well the drivers one is actually a flip down sunglasses holder its awesome.

Noticed a new one on the Audi, you get an extra wipe of the windscreen wipers a few seconds after using them with the screen wash to get the last bit wiped after a few seconds of driving.
Works well!
This also happens on my Fiesta, great feature. Also love the variable intermittent wipe, can change the gap between wipes.Works well!
Also when the engine is off if you turn the light switch from off to sidelights and back to off the dipped beams will come on and stay on forever when the car is unlocked and turn off 30 seconds after you lock the car. Great when it's dark and you need to see the way to the front door etc.

Another one from me: The fact that when the windows are open and I use half throttle or more from low speeds, I can hear a split second of turbo spooling before it starts really accelerating. Almost like saying "ready..go!"
It sounds good and means that if it's dry outside I often open the windows a bit just to hear the mini-jet like noise

Footwell lights increase in illumination when the handbrake is applied.
Tilt sensor in the auto 'box that changes down when you press the brake pedal for ~2 seconds when descending a hill.
Reversing camera - really useful when parking in tight spots.
Ignition barrel that you have the press the key into to release.
