Hyundai - sluggish infotainment and super nagging with beeps upon beeps.
I test drove the Kona and Ionic models in Australia a couple of months ago. I also drive numerous different hire cars for work and I can say Hyundai has the most intrusive driver alert system out of the lot of them.
Constant and loud pings and bings from the safety system. Infotainment on the Kona was also very slow to respond.
Yes, I am doing 103km/hr in a 100 zone, thank you, Hyundai.
Yes, I am again doing 103km/hr after briefly dipping to 98km/hr thank you, Hyundai.
Yes, I am nearly on the edge of the lane, mainly because a large semi is coming towards me in the opposite direction and they're looking a little loosey-goosey on this two-way highway, thank you Hyundai.
Yes, I am looking at the dash wondering what is causing the noises instead of watching the road, thank you, Hyundai.
Yes, I am now actively poking around in the menus trying to turn this shit off instead of keeping my eyes on the road, thank you, Hyundai.
After those test drives, I bought a Volvo instead. It has very low key warnings (or a buzz from the steering wheel like a mild ripple strip if it thinks you are leaving your lane). Just like Hyundai , you can't permanently turn the speed limit warnings off, but you can adjust them to be up to 20km/hr above or below the speed limit.
Yes! Hate it - also the speedometer shows 2kmh more than you actually are driving. So in reality it starts to plingplingpling when you go 38 in a 40 zone 🤬
No CarPlay or Android Auto, no buy. Simple as.
Unpopular opinion: Carplay and android auto both suck ass. It's menu hell and you have to exit it to get to the car settings instead of making the damn car settings an app icon within carplay. Bad design and slow and it requires 5-10 times more button presses than a good infotainment system. Tesla and Rivian kick the shit out of them and make them look bad.
Honestly your opinion is invalid if you’re praising Tesla.
But the convenience of CarPlay/AA is that it doesn’t matter that car you’re driving, it’s consistent. It’s niche, but I travel a lot end up in rentals a lot. I’ll always prefer the rental with CarPlay since I’m used to how it works. I don’t have to learn every useless car brands infotainment it’s tied to my phone and just works.
FFS carplay doesnt support pinch to zoom or pan on the map.
Yeah and every car I get in that supports it doesn’t so I don’t try to do that. That’s kinda the point I’m trying to make, if you’re used to the system and can take it from car to car it’s convenient.
If I’m stuck in a Toyota one day without it and the next I’m in a Kia with out it’s unsafe that I have no idea how the basic systems work when it could be universal and on my phone.
(Also using pinch while driving sounds dangerous but good example either way)
Android Auto does.
It also has the car infotainment as an app in the app list, at the top of the list by default.
OK then it sounds like the fault lies with Steve Jobs's ghost not screaming at the carplay engineers enough.
Bth, Tesla infotainment might be the only thing they did right in that car. Not intrusive, fast, intuitive.
Exception applies for their auto drive, which seems to be actively hunting for humans and walls
actively hunting humans and walls had me chuckling thanks.
I had wireless Android Auto in a rental car last month and loved it. My car just has the wired version. With wireless, I just sat down and it had locations up already that I was looking at and picked up the music or podcast I was playing. I'm a fan.
Hyndais in Eu has Carplay, and Ithink Hyundai is among the first that has signed up for the new CarPlay too
I drove a new Hyundai Sonata hybrid and was pretty annoyed by how flaky the lane keeping and adaptive cruise control were, plus the shift knob thing and clunky hybrid/EV switching after a red light.
