I know it's not quite what you're looking for in terms of thread content, but by far and away the worst thing about modern cars is the lack of visibility. Legislation has forced designers and engineers to construct cars in such a way that they have to incorporate umpteen airbags and rollcage capabilities, thus reducing window area to almost a minimum.
Add to that the head restraints on the top of seat-backs, and a driver is basically cocooned in safety, but unable to see all around him. Anyone who drives a classic car will know what I'm talking about - the view from within something from the 60s is like sitting in a greenhouse. Given the chance, I'd tick an "option" box when buying a car to have no safety, and more glass, and take the personal risk. I can't see insurance companies agreeing to that, unfortunately.
