Which side of the car the gas tank is.
100% feel this. For the last decade all my cars have had Driver side caps. Just driving a rental while my current cars in the shop which has its cap on the passenger side. Was a total, Universe stops… The tank is on the other siidddee moment when I went to fill it up xD
The clutch and brake pedals’ travel.
Yeah same. And the throttle behaves very differently sometimes as well
There’s like a strange difference between the throttle being loose or heavy like I’m pressing down against an elephant but the car still responds with Gas pedals
I traded my Miata for a GTI in 2021 but since I still work from home, I rarely get to drive it. Still kill it occasionally when I do take it out. 🙄
How sensitive the pedals are
You like more of less?
Just remembered a former colleague who got her clutch replaced. She went back to have it made looser because she was used to the old worn out one. I personally like for it to start engaging very deep.
I like them sensitive. Makes me think the car is running efficiently and not struggling.
I had a car with a heavy clutch. Tried out my friends car and kept accidently stomping the clutch pedal due to how relatively light it was.
Yep. I want that and for it to engage at early that you have to be really good at it.
The location and orientation of the wipers and high beams always takes a few days to get used to.
Figuring out mirrors, sightlines, and distances. Brake and accelerator sensitivity can take some getting used to as well.
Just got a new car with all the fancy bells and whistles after driving a pretty analog car for 16 years. The keyless start will never be something I get used to.
My expectations.

Parking brake location(of cars which don’t have the traditional hand break). Drove a few rental cars and always took a few minutes to find where the button is. Recently learned there are cars that have a pedal for a parking brake, took me 15 minutes to locate.
The armrests. It always takes me a while to figure out where to put my elbows on long drives. (I’m over 2m tall)
Knowing how far the wheels are from scraping the curb during a parallel reverse park.
