My wifes MINI has an auto wiper option but doesn't appear to have an 'intermittent' setting - so you have on, off and annoying. The Honda variable intermittent setting is good (as mentioned by someone else). Auto lights - good idea, technology not there yet - shouldn't flick on and off as you travel through shady woodland on a bright sunny day - it's irritating following a car with lights that are on then off then on then off etc. etc.

Those features all fall under the 'pointless technology pile' for me My list of deal breakers is more basic:

1) Decent brakes
2) Decent seats
3) Handling not like a barge
4) Noticeable acceleration - not rocket ship fast but something must happen when you bury the throttle.
I really really wish we had a facebook 'like' on this forum. Agree 100% with your 'pointless technology' view.
