First World problems

Mr Magners · 05-04-2012 02:45PM #1

I posted in the "Post a pic of your car" thread the other day, I just got a new car and I've got a First world problem...

My sunglasses don't fit in the sunglasses holder:eek:

Apart from that it fairly rocks, never had a proper brand new car before so all is good.

Anyone got any similar first world problems they'd like to share?

My wife's sunglasses also don't fit.

I suggested not having those oversized "gaga-esque" sunglasses, as mine fit fine.

As you said... first world problems

Mine was a functioning AUX port on my CMax's radio, but now wire/input socket with it.
Had to buy it an fit it myself, I'm telling you, them where tough times, not having an AUX port for my mp3 player!
Certainly not a problem that features high on the agenda in Chad, Nairobi or Namibia, I'm sure!

I have an air con button in my car but no air con, it's such a tease

I could fit a whole brothel in the boot of the octavia, now I can only 6 in the boot of the Volvo with the seats down. :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

I wish my car had a better sound system

I hate that about a car; dummy buttons on the dash are only there to tease you with the features you could have had :mad:

Thankfully my current car has buttons everywhere :pac:

My cup holders in the Focus don't hold cups when the car is moving. The chassis must be rotten at this stage with all the coke I spilled:mad:

My car did actually have it in as its a jap import but the previous owner whipped it out. Wonder how much it would cost to get it put back in. Oi Nissan doctor i have a project for you!

I hear you!
One of my previous Fords had the two cupholders right beside, in fact they where even partially merged. This means that only on will hold a beverage at a time, it it physically impossible to wedge two drinks in there.
The designer must have come up with that one on a Monday morning.

I hate having to wait for the leather seats to heat up on a cold morning. It's such an inconvenience.

CoDy1 · 05-04-2012 07:01PM

I only have parking sensors at the rear, I wish I had them on the front too:(

colm_mcm · 05-04-2012 07:09PM

My auto headlight delay function only has 3 second increments.

also the wipers go from too slow to too fast and squeak...

To mute and un-mute in the event of a phone call;)

Information display supports split screen functionality, however won't let me have radio stations listed on one side and sat nav map on the other at the same time.

Sometimes I wonder if there's any point to getting out of bed in the mornings...

The reception on my comfort access is a bit poor, fml

sxq61 · 05-04-2012 07:50PM

Every time I go for a drive the car uses petrol and then I have to replace it.

Jimbob 83 · 05-04-2012 07:50PM

MK1 Octavia's cup holder also sucks

Worst is the ashtray cover though with randomly hops up when you are driving over a bump and flings ashes everywhere

The holes are there I'd say, the isofix brackets are small money

I have no aircon in my mx5

Mr Magners · 05-04-2012 09:28PM

I just need to add that my car also doesn't have lumbar support. I'm going to bed now and I might just never get up again.

Why would I bother when I don't have something to support my lumbars!

Jimbob 83 · 05-04-2012 09:32PM

Im saving up for some of them lumbars, i hear they are feckin claaaaaaaaass
