People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars — For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, wit…::People are dissatisfied with the technology in their cars, according to a new survey from JD Power. They especially don’t like the native infotainment systems.
I just took my '91 Mazda off the road (undercarriage rust) and bought a '24 Subaru Crosstrek with an 11" touchscreen that I did not want. The best feature? You can turn it off and it stays off, every time you use the car.
If you put the heat/AC into auto, there are physical buttons to raise and lower the temperature. The screen flashes on for a second to display the temperature change. There are also physical buttons on the steering wheel to skip through the radio stations (which display between the tach and speedometer) and adjust the volume.
Perfect. I’m so glad not to have to leave that screen on.
