    lol “heart of the car” gtfo

    rear view cameras are nice (though unnecessary), but literally NOTHING else about “infotainment” is worth the extra cost. you think it is because you’ve been convinced you just simply can’t survive without it, and cars can’t even exist without it. why? because $$$

    fuck outta my face with that shit

    so, my takeaway from all this is that toyota is still the best way to go if you for some reason just have to buy a “infotainment” car

      Maps/navigation is the one feature that infotainment systems have that is a step up and worth a small amount of cost.

        It will be instantly outdated.

        The phone you use is going to be a far better method of navigation. Cars need a dumb screen that connects to your phone and displays the map, problem solved. Although id take all screens out of cars but kids today need a screen or they freak out I guess.

      What options are there that don’t have infotainment garbage without buying something that’s 10 years old?

        I will not buy a car without a 15” screen. I just cannot read directions as fast on any smaller screen. The bigger the information on the screen, the faster I can read it, and the less precision I need with my gaze.
