audio settings. While touchscreens can look sleek, they can be distracting and difficult to use while driving. Physical buttons and knobs allow for easier and safer adjustments without taking eyes off the road. For instance, Mazda has retained physical controls for some functions in their latest models, providing a good balance between modern technology and usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Auto_Stop-Start_Systems\"><\/span>Auto Stop-Start Systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Auto-Stop-Start-Systems.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Auto-Stop-Start-Systems.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Auto-Stop-Start-Systems-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Auto-Stop-Start-Systems-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Auto-Stop-Start-Systems-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Yudanto \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/close-modern-cars-engine-start-stop-2419465433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Auto stop-start systems, which turn off the engine at stops to save fuel, are often disliked by drivers. They can cause annoying delays when restarting and can wear out the starter motor over time. Many drivers prefer having an option to permanently disable this feature. Automakers like Ford and Toyota offer a button to disable the system temporarily, but a permanent off option would be more appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fake_Engine_Noise\"><\/span>Fake Engine Noise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Fake-Engine-Noise-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Fake-Engine-Noise-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Fake-Engine-Noise-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Fake-Engine-Noise-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Florenc.Elezi \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/car-audio-speakers-red-black-interior-2294195989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Manufactured engine noise pumped through the speakers is another feature many drivers wish would disappear. It&#8217;s often found in performance cars to enhance the driving experience artificially, but many find it inauthentic and annoying. Drivers prefer the natural sound of the engine or silence, as found in electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3, which don&#8217;t use artificial noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excessive_Chrome_Trim\"><\/span>Excessive Chrome Trim<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Chrome-Trim.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Chrome-Trim.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Chrome-Trim-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Chrome-Trim-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/dwiyudanto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>Image Editorial Credit: Room 76 \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/modern-car-exterior-drivers-door-mirror-452737060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Excessive chrome trim can be polarizing, with many drivers finding it gaudy and difficult to keep clean. It can also glare in bright sunlight, causing visual discomfort. Automakers like Audi and BMW offer &#8220;blackout&#8221; packages that replace chrome with black or body-colored trim, which is a popular alternative for a more subtle and modern look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overly_Complex_Infotainment_Systems\"><\/span>Overly Complex Infotainment Systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Overly-Complex-Infotainment-Systems.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Overly-Complex-Infotainment-Systems.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Overly-Complex-Infotainment-Systems-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Overly-Complex-Infotainment-Systems-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Gorodenkoff \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/futuristic-concept-stylish-businessman-using-navigation-2064717017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Infotainment systems that are overly complex and difficult to navigate are a common complaint. Drivers prefer intuitive and straightforward interfaces. Tesla&#8217;s minimalist approach with a large central touchscreen, while not perfect, is often praised for its simplicity and ease of use. Automakers should focus on reducing clutter and improving user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Push-Button_Gear_Selectors\"><\/span>Push-Button Gear Selectors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Push-Button-Gear-Selectors.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Push-Button-Gear-Selectors.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Push-Button-Gear-Selectors-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Push-Button-Gear-Selectors-768x558.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: VMarin \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/luxury-car-gear-shifter-156814802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Push-button gear selectors are found in some modern vehicles, replacing traditional gear shifters. Many drivers find them unintuitive and prone to causing confusion, especially in emergency situations. Traditional gear shifters or rotary dials, like those in Jaguar and Land Rover models, are often preferred for their tactile feedback and ease of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excessive_Safety_Warnings\"><\/span>Excessive Safety Warnings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Safety-Warnings-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Safety-Warnings-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Safety-Warnings-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Excessive-Safety-Warnings-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Oleksandr Pirko \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/night-time-dashboard-modern-car-screen-2044147280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>While safety warnings are important, an overabundance of alerts can be distracting and annoying. Constant beeping for lane departure warnings, collision alerts, and other systems can overwhelm drivers. Automakers like Subaru allow drivers to customize the sensitivity and volume of these warnings, which is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Capless_Fuel_Fillers\"><\/span>Capless Fuel Fillers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capless-Fuel-Fillers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capless-Fuel-Fillers.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capless-Fuel-Fillers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capless-Fuel-Fillers-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: otomobil \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/easy-fuel-capless-system-tank-cap-575400685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Capless fuel fillers, designed to make refueling easier, can actually cause problems. They can be prone to debris getting inside and are incompatible with some fuel additives. Drivers often prefer traditional fuel caps, which provide a more secure seal and are less likely to cause issues. Automakers could offer both options to cater to different preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uncomfortable_Seats\"><\/span>Uncomfortable Seats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Uncomfortable-Seats.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Uncomfortable-Seats.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Uncomfortable-Seats-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Uncomfortable-Seats-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Foto Eston \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/krakow-poland-june-14-2024-color-2486355615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Seats that prioritize style over comfort are a common grievance. Sporty bucket seats with aggressive bolstering can be uncomfortable for long drives. Drivers prefer adjustable seats with ample cushioning and lumbar support, like those found in Volvo and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, which focus on ergonomic design and long-term comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Run-Flat_Tires\"><\/span>Run-Flat Tires<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Run-Flat-Tires-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Run-Flat-Tires-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Run-Flat-Tires-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Run-Flat-Tires-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Smile Fight \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/image-rear-side-sports-car-wheel-1586475265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Run-flat tires are designed to be driven on even after a puncture, but they tend to provide a harsher ride and are more expensive to replace. Drivers often prefer traditional tires with a spare, as they offer better ride quality and peace of mind. Some automakers, like BMW, provide a choice between run-flat tires and traditional tires with a spare, giving drivers more options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electronic_Parking_Brakes\"><\/span>Electronic Parking Brakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Electronic-Parking-Brakes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Electronic-Parking-Brakes.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Electronic-Parking-Brakes-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Electronic-Parking-Brakes-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Electronic-Parking-Brakes-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: Capix Denan \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/man-fingger-pushpull-electric-electronic-parking-1228408276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Electronic parking brakes replace traditional handbrakes with a button.
