    I think I’ll continue sticking to “dumb” cars… at least as much as they’re available.

    The “smart” fad can go fuck a duck.

      Or just don’t connect your phone to it. That’s what I do. I’ve never touched the “smart” screen in my car except to adjust the air conditioner.

        Ugh, I also have a special hatred for touch screen anything in cars.

        Give me fucking knobs and buttons. I don’t want to have to stop looking at the road while I drive a 1000kg death machine because I can’t adjust the air con without looking.

        Yes and you paid for that “smart” screen, and anyway does this stop the car from sending anything? No?

        You sure showed them, by not using the stuff you paid them for. Yeap.

          I paid for a car that I could drive halfway across the country in and be comfortable,not spend a fortune on fuel, and not worry too much about it stranding me on the side of the road. The smart screen just happened to come with it. So it seems to have worked out fine for me.

          Are you naturally an asshole or are you making a special effort here?
