SUVs. SUVs. SUVs.
So tired of SUVs.
- Preach!
- I was literally about to post this.
Nope. Dashboard is buttonless, offcenter, and a long wide tablet.
Next!
- Thanks for saving me time.
435 miles
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.
  
  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.
If you cut the car off from the middle of the licence plate it looks a lot better, kinda like a 4th gen Civic
I hate when they look like minivans I want boxy
- Most SUVs are just less practical minivans for people in denial
  
  Then give me a boxy minivan that's lifted a bit
- Where’s our Honda Element EV?
  
  I've been wanting one of those new bronco's as an ev since I saw them
