ITT : Bannable Shit that Car Companies Do

>Hyundai at even remotely the same level as Mazda
How can you shit on Mazda?

It works pretty well though. It was fine in the xc90 I had for a week

I own one and it sucks. The only way to safely use something you should not look at is for that something to be able to produce tactile feedback.
Touchscreens won't give you any meaningful tactile feedback, which means that in order to use one you will have to look away from the road.

So fucking nice that I have an emergency braking system so the car will try to stop itself when I'm busy changing climate settings.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Mazda makes good cars.

Lol I own a 2017 civic and it is still shit. There is no excuse for it it is just bad plain and simple. AND the interface is slow and sluggish. Stop trying to apologize for the most agregious UX sins in the car industry. Or maybe you are just trying to justify the car you bought with a trash infotainment system.

2018 civic si here. This is really my only complaint with the car. Especially starting the car when it was snowing and wanting to crank the heat up. Sitting there 10 seconds while the Honda screen loads and then going into the climate control is the biggest pain in the ass

This shit. Even the french turds come with this shit nowadays. There's no plans to update the software, leading to tragic slow interfaces.
>hurr durr software is already fast
Look at phones man, 2 year old ones often are anemic turds

>The whole point of it is just set-and-forget. If you are adjusting it, you are an idiot.

Don't bother, most people bitching about it here probably drive Cavaliers.

Hyundai makes good cars too faggot.

If anything, they are above Hyundai since they atleast still care about performance over econoshits.

The last one is something I've had issues with in GM products when backing into a parking space.It'll put itself into park and then you have to shift the stalk into park, and then back into gear to move again

Yeah, and it sucks ass.
Give me my buttons and dials back

Who gets the final word on what makes touchscreens get into new cars? Marketing?

I was interested in a new Civic Si. But that shit would drive me up a wall. Now I feel grateful my CR-Z has physical buttons for climate controls and radio.

Or worse yet, it applies the parking brake when shifting out of park like the new Fiats. What a croc of shit those things are.

plenty of cars still have both, you only see touch-screen only in silly minimalist cars like Teslas and OPs Volvo.

most modern cars have automatic climate control and radio controls in the steering wheel so those kinds of distractions are kept to the minimum. biggest problem with my car is that the heated seats are on the other side of the gear lever so i cant see which button is turned on most of the time.

I fucking hate this trend.

That's actually a quite sexy layout.

>have a car with touchscreen climate control
>wearing gloves
>in your car that was manufactured recently enough to have touchscreen climate control
>in your car that probably has remote start and automatic climate control
>because those have been around longer than touchscreen and would undoubtedly be included in a car new/fancy enough to have a touchscreen

i was about to say the same thing, if you car is new enough to have touchscreen-only climate control it probably has newer stuff like remote start and a good quality heating system. if you are at the point of needing to adjust the climate controls you probobly dont even need those gloves anymore.

My mom owns an XC90 and it frustrates the fuck out of both of us constantly

I don't mind it so much but placing the dial right next to the cup holders is just asking for trouble.

My wife has a 200S... I opened door while in gear and rolling slowly to try to align the side of car with a ground marking and it immediately applies the ... Electric Emergency Brake....
so you have to put the car in park.. take the E brake off and put it back in drive to move any further.... I do hate electric nannies...

I am on board with this.... Its not as gutwrenchingly terrible as the shifter sticking streight out of the dash though because its small.

its still appaling though

I'm not a fan of the whole buttonless trend. Seriously, if you can't memorize the functions of a bunch of buttons you have no business conducting a motor vehicle anyway, go fuck your grandma. Pic unrelated

Raw numbers dont mean shit and Mazda was never about that, sure the new Genesis X69 whatever landyacht has 400hp but it also has 2 tons of shitty body rolling chassis to push around

Both the RX's were discontinued for emissions reasons and both were at the top of their game

Although I have to admit the Veloster is pretty sweet and looks well made, props to Hyundai

I think touchscreens are awful to use. Especially in a plane

t. Pilot

Climate controls shifting to digital in the first place is where it started.
Sure, when it works it's p. damn slick to press buttons and have readouts etc. But it's shortsighted as fuck, because once it gets old and starts shitting itself it is very likely that you won't be able to replace it. Because any examples now cost a fucking fortune because they're ols and thus 'rare', and completely out of reach. So you're stuck with a non/barely functional control unit you cannot replace because cunts gonna cunt.
But who cares about any of that? It's years away and we're not going to deal with it and we can make money like RIGHT NOW.
Shower of twats.
Meanwhile, the even older and more basic cars with 100% mechanical controls are still completely fine and work with zero problems.

Yes. I am familiar with this exact situation, thanks for asking.

passenger climate controls on the steering wheel

Remote start is not as common outside of US.

We prefer to have proper preheating equipment to preheat the engine and interior before starting the car. And at least in here idling of cars are restricted to 2 or 4 minutes depending in temperature or you can get fined if you idle longer than that.

Automatic climate control sucks.
When it's 110 outside I don't care if the air is technically 65 inside, I want the coldest possible air blowing because air temperature and surface temperature are two different things.
When it's -10 outside I don't care if the air inside is technically 70, I want the hottest air possible blowing.
Anyone who isn't maxing their climate control at all times is retarded.

my Optima's navigation system starts trying to direct me towards nearby gas stations as soon as my estimated range drops below 60 miles.

its kind of annoying at first but i can see how it would be helpful if you were in an unfamiliar area.

Let's not forget the fact that volvo's infotainment software is running on some cheap chinese tablet with crap touch resolution and is laggy as fuck, so it can take like half a minute for shit to register.

Honestly, all automatic transmission cars should have dial shifters. Completely electronic, too, with no tactile feedback because the whole point is to remove you from the 'discomfort' of actually driving. Better yet would be to put gear selection in a touchscreen.

Ah, the memories

i dont get it

touchscreens are sometimes thosuand dollar options and yet theyre slower than my 5 year old ipad

Everything all anons said here plus

No spare tire, no oil dipstick, no gear shifter and all the other stuff you want and need now missing from your overpriced new car.

so you hate Japanese cars?

>Start car
>Seatbelt chime distracting the shit out of you as you try to carefully reverse out of your driveway/parking spot

Do people seriously put that shit on before starting the car? I'm adamant about wearing one at anything past parking lot speed but god damn you don't have to screech in my ears every time I start the car, and what if I just didn't want to wear it? Fuck you for trying to force everyone.

Believe it or not even in some places in the US, as well as Bingland and other shitholes, its a ticketable CRIME to warm your car up, because it '''entices thieves''' You have to be in it, and even then you still cant because of emissions and shit but i dont know the validtiy to that part.

i hate their shit build quality

Have a common failiure mode that is highly inaccessible.
>Bushing that requires the entire rear suspension to be removed, but fails significantly more often
>Starter motor on the undercarriage with an infamously hard to remove bolt

It's honestly fucking bullshit. At best you're in for a rough time and a lot of swearing. At worst you need specialised tools and have to hire a mechanic to do it, and then pay ridiculous labour costs.

Thank you, you're about the only other person I've ever seen who actually realizes this.

A friend of mine leased the turbo version. He was tired of it by the second year. Told me the build quality is ass.

too bad kia got shit engines

the Theta II 2.0 Turbo is a pretty solid engine with good performance and millage for the size. sure a certain percentage of them explode after a couple years but thats what the 10 year powertrain warranty is for.
