I am never again buying a post 2010 car. I've driven a few modern cars, and they have truly gone to shit. STOP BEEPING.

Why does it say keep my eyes on the road? I can only read that by taking my eyes off the road.

2024 car window button broke before it was a year old... the car was not even commuted in. Less than 10K miles in a year. The button was used maybe a dozen times? At most. This was a "high-quality" vehicle, the best reviewed of kind. Resets with updates, all settings lost. I have to go through menus to use radio, three menus? It beeps and dings constantly. I am enraged every time I drive it.

I hate you so much. I wait for death

My mom bought a 2024 Toyota Aygo X, and it will constantly beep at you if you go 2kph over the limit. You can turn it off by going into the menus but it'll just turn on again on the next start

Particular annoying when it constantly gets it wrong. Like it read the traffic sign of the side street.

I would drive it directly off a cliff. That sounds like something they make you do in Hell Lite.

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

I absolutely hate it, for me that would be enough of a reason to not buy that car

Keeping my '03 running as long as I possibly can. Does the radio work? No. Do I need the dome light to see my speed at night because the dash lights burnt out? Yes. Is the seat disintegrating more and more each day? Yep. Does it leak when it rains really hard? I do get a little spritz every now and then.

But that fucker's been paid off for two decades, and I can think of exactly one time when it was incapacitated due to a cracked radiator after 20 years on the road. 20 years of reliable service. It doesn't even whine at you for not wearing your seatbelt, it's so old. All you get is a little reminder light. It makes a bigger deal out of you leaving the headlights on.

I REFUSE to buy the enshittified touch screen trash that passes for a car today. Give me a fuel efficient, safe vehicle with physical buttons and a basic ass stereo and I might reconsider.

Right to repair laws would help things so much. If you didn't like the firmware that came with the car, you could install alternative firmware. If the dealer sold a car that was known to have some terrible components, there would be a business opportunity for a car modder who would buy factory vehicles from the dealer and replace the most trouble-prone parts, then re-sell the car with a slight mark-up.

It used to be that when it came to high performance cars, there were groups like Alpine, AMG, Abarth, Shelby, Saleen, etc. They were often race teams, or associated with race teams. Sometimes they would buy stock cars and modify them for racing, or at least modify them for high performance. But, most of those have now been brought into the company most associated with them. Mercedes owns AMG, Alpine is part of Renault, etc. I would bet one reason that this is not as common anymore is that cars are heavily computerized, and the computers can use DRM to restrict anybody but the original manufacturer from modifying them.

My 2010 Jeep Wrangler is built out of Lego. There's a million companies that make parts and I can customize everything on it 12 times over.

Unfortunately, it's less aerodynamic than a cow and you feel every bit of variance on the road, but it's still a fun ride in every season.
