Yeah I'm sort of in the market for a new car (tossing up between some relatively exxy repairs vs putting that money toward something new) and am struggling to find one I'm happy with.

Between the anti privacy bs, having to go into menus for basic functionality (which in turn makes the screen a single point of failure for like 90% of functions), subscriptions for things that shouldn't be, simple maintenance requiring a trained engineer to plug in a bespoke tool so no home or independent repairs, etc etc I just feel like I'd be signing up to be milked dry. Not to mention prices have gone silly.

I hate where things have gone, nobody seems interested in simply making a good product and selling it for a fair price any more.

I recommend a horse

Are you serious? The cost of changing the oil on a horse these days is absurd!
