This clock is so silly. I hated it at first but now I love it. Classic Stockholm syndrome.

My steering wheel is pretty tacky, old leather gets like that so I put a cover on it so it wouldn’t get on my hands.

Wait... if we’re talking real Stockholm, that clock can only be your captor if you’re somehow trapped in your car. ARE YOU TRAPPED IN YOUR INFINITI? AGAINST YOUR WILL? BLINK TWICE FOR YES

for now, the tackiest things are the blinking check engine light, and the front passenger door won’t open (probably the lock actuator)

The shiny Quattro badge on the wood trim above the glovebox. It sux on 2 levels.

1) Ok I get it, it has Quattro “technically”. Ain’t no racecar DNA in the car from what I could tell lol.

2) In the early afternoon, the sun hits is just right for it to reflect right into my eyeballs!

Patrick Nichols > Noah - Now with more boost. 10/13/2015 at 12:24

In my old 9-3 it was the night mode button.

In my mom’s highlander hybrid, it’s the stupid diagram that shows which engine is working at which point.

And in my dad’s mini it has to be the centrally mounted speedo.

No complaints in my golf or old volvo.

I can’t stand chrome inside the cabin for that reason. The 2011 Mustang I owned had big chrome rings around the speedo and tach, as well as the climate control vents. My CTS does too...it reflects sun right into my eyes. No bueno.

my fusion hybrid has a MPG indicator. when it’s solid green, it’s on electric. when it’s red, you’re flooring it and then it fades to white when you’re easy on the gas engine.

There is nothing wrong with that. Makes it easy to use the tape adapter to play music on your modern device.

Also, I hate that the CD changer is in the trunk, and that you have to put them in upside down.

I can’t wait to get rid of it for something with a proper aux jack.

The CD changer on mine is in-dash. But it doesn’t work. We have one like it in our Sienna. You just load them one at a time, then you can pick which disk to listen to.

Well most of the interior of my car is pretty low rent. I’d say that the buttons are spelled out instead of icons is pretty tacky.

oh yeah, 11 years as in 2004. At first I had thought 1994! :o

Because I had a 96 ES300 with the trunk CD changer. The I30 I have now has an in-dash CD player, but only one disc.

That’s actually a Toyota, but I agree anyway. The back seat really is very comfy indeed. The whole car’s a bit like driving a sofa.

My BMW chirps (loudly) 2x when i unlock it and once when i lock it. Toyotas do it too (at a third of the volume), but because it’s a BMW it’s instantly tacky.

“Hey look, that douche wants us to know he has a BMW by making it chirp!” Bro, if i could change it, i would in a heartbeat

It’s not so much tackiness... but the acres of cheap beige plastic:

Yes... this is exactly what the interior of my car looks like, except my car has beige “leather” and instead of the factory double DIN stereo, the previous owner installed a cheapo Clarion single DIN head unit.

You can’t really tell from the picture, but the dashboard plastic that is on top and extends over to the passenger side is the cheap/hard textured brand of plastic. It’s a definite downgrade from what was sold prior to 2005... not to mention what was sold in Europe.

And about the “leather” seats. They might be leather, but it isn’t a soft/luxurious feeling leather. It’s more like the cheapest kind of cowhide leather they could get their hands on that feels like a softer/flexible plastic.

I’d say the fake carbon fiber trim. I thought it looked nice at first, but then I realized it’s the fakest CF ever created. Also doesn’t help that it made of rock solid plastic and has tons of panel gaps.

(Not my picture)

It’s the stuff around the start/stop button. Trust me, it looks 10x worse in person than the picture and it doesn’t even look good in the picture.

In my daily, probably the color changing ambient lighting in the interior. In my other car, it would probably be the overly fancy script used for “Electronic Climate Control” and “Electronic Sound”.
