Which quirk does you car have?
We've done in-car luxury, now how about in-car annoyance?
My aged Range Rover, Linus, has developed some unpleasant little quirks that are fine by me, but badly annoy any passengers.
His computer cuts out power sometimes, then cuts it back in again.
His air susspension pops up and down when sat in traffic, like an American poser's vehicle bouncing about.
He's developed a serious drink problem :
All the local birds collect sultanas from my neighbour's bird table then sit eating them on Linus. He slowly going from dark green to white"The Jaguar's going cheap"
"Shouldn't it be purring?" :confused:

Mind throws steam out the exhaust. A peculiar thing happens to me when I drive Caroline's car. People think that crashing into me is a good idea.
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

The Fuel Cap- only god know the right combinations of turning the key and twisting the cap to get it open.
The glovebox isn't big enough for the owners manual
4th gear hasn't got any use.
It turns girls that sit in the passenger seat into lesbiansTazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!

I've actually just thought of another one for my car. The pedal on the right hand side only seems increase the noise level.
