I don't have a least favorite but there are some features that I can do without such as rain sensing wipers and auto headlights.
The auto headlights can be a curse for some (that know and remember to turn their lights on when it's dark outside) and a blessing for others when coming across vehicles that don't have the auto lights with owners/drivers that seem to forget that the general public do not see them as well
when it is raining really hard and dark. This is not an episode of Star Trek when you opt for cloaking mode. Those are the types that definitely need the "auto" headlights.

Best feature without a doubt is A/C. I don't mean fancy climate control (that's nice too), but just A/C in general.

Worst: I would never buy a car with one of those stop-start devices. It just seems annoying to have the engine going on-off-on-off-on-off-on-off... I'd rather burn 0.3 extra gallons of gas than deal with that crap.

Going from my old 1997 F-150 (and my wife's 2012 Accord, for that matter) to my 2016 GTI was like going from a Commodore 64 to a Macbook Pro. Cannot believe all of the luxury-grade features that have trickled down to this relatively affordable car, but here are my favorites:

-Keyless entry and push-to-start
-Backup camera
-Incredible steering/self-leveling HIDs
-Apple Carplay (finally carmakers are realizing that they need to get out of technology business and let Apple/Google do the heavy lifting)
-Self parking
-Adaptive cruise control

There aren't any features that really bug me. The Lane Assist feature is a bit less useful than I'd hoped - it only seems to steer the car back into the lane once it's about to cross the marking, rather than keeping it centered on it's own.
