Worst FAKE THINGS found in Modern Cars

[@TopCarsTV]

I'll go first: Mine has those fake intakes for the brakes. Plastic headlights (all modern cars do). Somewhat fake-y diffuser. And worst of all - oversized exhaust with a small pipe siting inside it 😒 But the leather is real. Door handles are real metal, as well as all the brushed metal details in the interior.

I'm planning my next car being an EV and fake engine sounds is actually on in the top parts of my requirements. However fake sounds on engine cars absolutely make no sense, you already have an engine why soundproof it and then pump artifical noises through the sounds system.

I agree with everything accept the plastic headlights, not having to worry about stones destroying the headlights, or even the heat from the bulbs cracking the glass, id rate that as positive, because honestly, polishing the headlights after 10-15 years, not a big deal, the car would probably need an entire polish afther that amount of time. (Granted it might be worse in more Southern countries with more sun)

To solve the sound problem there's a much cheaper solution: just remove the sound insulation, so you'll hear your real engine sounds, and not those idiotic speaker sounds.

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

The new Civic Type R and the GR86 are a good step in the right direction. I also was shocked when I first found out about the GT500 and GT350 grilles, ruined these cars for me. Something we have to give BMW credit for, is that the vents in the front of the G80/82 M3/4 are all real.

[@creepycreo9004]

But on cars like the X5M (I know is not an M), they made the grills too big and so they blocked it. Similar effect with the 7 series, iX, X7 and i7 and more of their long grills.

@@creepycreo9004 The pre 2023 X5M (a true M car btw, because it gets all the true M stuff) had no blocked off portions as far as I know of. The side vents had carbon bits that directed the air into the openings, but everything that had a mesh/honeycomb/whatever was open. I dunno about the brand new one.

[@Eggyteevee]

The smaller amount of fake vents on the new Civic Type-R is something that makes me like it more; its just what it needs and that's it, also that is something that make the Civic Type-R a interesting sleeper for me, it looks a innocent econobox made for the average driver that goes from A to B, but inside its a car that likes to go _fast_ well that's a bit hard to apply on the new Civics Type-R, with that massive wing and the red Type-R logo on the trunk, doesn't really look like an sleeper anymore, but still can engage some tomfoolery around the track

[@danielversion1.035]

Mine is pretty light on the fakery as far as a modern...ish car goes... (thank goodness!!!) it actually has real leather AND real wood!!! (but also real fake chrome... and those damned plastic headlight covers.) Your commentary was absolutely on point.

The most infuriating fake thing are buttons. Instead of having actual physical buttons they all now have these crappy touch sensitive button. Just look at the VW ID 3 steering wheel. All just these touch sensitive buttons. You press them often accidentally, and when you want to press it, you have to look at the wheel to know where the button is instead of felling it. In general, you want to keep your eyes on the road, instead on looking where the button for the climate control is. Infuriating Level 10/10

[@priyanshushah2345]

Yeah I was especially infuriated when the roma released, i feel turning the key to the car makes it more alive, even if that's gone, the start stop button just feels satisfying to push, especially in a sports car, just look at Lamborghinis, they make the process of starting a car so special, and then ferrari give a touch button.

Fake quad tips is the worst

[@HenRoggaman]

I’ve owned two M550d touring (the wagon). Some of the fakery but less than you might think. No fog lights in the front spoiler ( which didn’t try to be a splitter) because the ZF 8 speed needed a separate oil cooler so the other intake had the mesh but blanked. They had extended lips on the tail door ((9 mm, changed radius) to reduce “rear end float” at stupid autobahn speeds. The body kit was the same (ish) as any BMW 5 series wagon… but not really. Front and rear wings were wider because of the vehicle’s (unique) wider track. BUT… It had fake noise, trying to make a 3 turbo, straight 6 diesel sound like a normally aspirated straight pipe V8. I managed to get rid of the annoyance by a bunch of work in the software. It didn’t go any different, instead it sounded real (awful at tickover, wonderful between 200 and 5000 revs. Fake noise = 10/10

[@HenRoggaman]

I had cars with fake carbon interior: One on the dashbord (Ford Focus ST) and one on the seats (Seat Leon Cupra). I'm really not a fan of it, that came as standard with no other option. My car now (Cupra Leon) has a stupid diffusor thingy and also fake sound. At least the quad-pipes are real. I don't like fake sound, but if you would hear the inline-3 of the i8 without that fake, it would be even more awkward. I thing BMW wanted to mimic a typical inline-6 sound. It doesn't sound that bad IRL.

It also has a big factory spoiler which does nothing, I actually removed it for a couple of years. Plastic headlights are for safety and they don't tend to break as easy with stones, what is annoying is some still get sucked into buying the factory headlight protectors, which are also plastic! My biggest issue with fake things are the vents and exhaust, luckily my cars have real exhaust tips that are connected to the engine!

Another addition I think would be worthwhile are plastic fog light inserts. I know that they're a necessary evil, but automakers could have at least used body colored plastic. But no, people who couldn't afford anything more than the base trim level are stuck with those ugly black plastic inserts that broadcast to the world how poor you are, as well as being a constant reminder of what you could have had. The same sentiment also applies to cheap blank switches in the interior.
