For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

I travel for work and thus rent a lot of cars. Can confirm there are far too many options. What's worse is that new cars don't have an option for the USB to type C. It's just type C to C, which is a cord that almost no one owns. Why not have both in the cars!! Bur yeah the new cars all do something a bit different in annoying ways.

FYI: My favorite vehicles. 1 Honda Civic, 2 Kia Soul.

I got a 2011 with basic matrix display for mpg mileage trip etc, every control is physical, Oretro fitted Bluetooth (because the inbuilt one is too janky for a modern phone which is a good demo of what happens to tech in a car) and have my phone in a cradle it's absolutely perfect.
