Description

Are modern cars getting worse to use? In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant and Will dive into the modern car gimmicks that drive everyone mad — from touchscreen controls and capacitive buttons to fake exhausts, overprotective ADAS systems, and those inconsistent electric handbrakes that seem to have a mind of their own.


They explore why so many car features we hate are becoming standard, how car design mistakes keep slipping through, and why some tech makes driving less enjoyable rather than better. It’s a mix of car culture, good-natured ranting, and the kind of car chat every enthusiast will recognise.
