Today's cars have so much hi tech crap on them that it's ridiculous. We recently bought a 2021 Acura RDX (wife's car) and you need an instruction manual in order to operate all the gadgets it contains.
The craziest thing on it is, it's got a system that sends motor noises through the stereo system when you step down on it.
,...artificial motor noises,....no schitt.
She likes the car. But she doesn't use 10% of the gadgetry it has. I never drive it. In my opinion, cars reached their zenith with the 2011 Toyota Camry. That's what I drive.
It's a car. It drives smooth. It has a comfortable interior. It doesn't break down. It gets 30 mpg out on the interstate driving 80.
I've got 4 vehicles,..the RDX, An Acura TL, A good old Ford F-150, and the Camry. I use the truck if I'm doing truck things. Otherwise, I take the 12 year old Camry.
Interesting footnote. I gave $14,500 for the Camry in 2014. It had 26K miles on it. Go to the Carmax page and low milage 2011 Toyota Camrys are bringing $2000 more than I paid for one 9 years ago.
