Audi TT

Screens are good. I like screens :)

>>28509678
But then you would have to own an Audi TT.

>>28509678
Audi TT was cancelled in 2023 and that gauge cluster is a screen ya dingus.

>>28509678
>speedometer is a screen
Close but no cigar.

OK good? Who wants fucking button slop?

Now post your Tesla

>>28509673 (OP)
So buy used.

It's not. You can't get new feature updates in your car or ui improvements or safety fixes.

>>28509785
What's the non-gay equivalent?

I refuse to purchase any motor vehicle that requires an internet connection so that it can download firmware updates.
They can use that same link to brick your car.

Nothing wrong with a tablet to replace the radio, it's got much more functionality. In fact, I'm looking to replace the radio in my Japanese shitbox with a screen.

>>28509799
You refuse to buy a motor vehicle that requires an internet connection? Or you refuse a motor vehicle that, to update, require an internet connection? And how would you update without an internet connection?

Why wouldn't you want free improvements?

There is

>>28509678
There's a screen here

Suzuki bros, time to shine

>>28509679
Grim.

It's been 10 years since there was a good affordable car

>>28510417
Less than one, actually. The Versa and it's port-injected 4 cylinder, manual transmission and 2500lb weight (~500lb lighter than Corolla/Civic) all available under $17k didn't deserve the hate.
>but some brown people drive Altimas so I won't drive Nissans
>2500lbs is pigfat it has to be sub-2000lbs (doesn't exist)
>it's not powerful enough despite having almost twice the power of a Mirage
>it feels like a shitbox (it's a sub-$17k car in 2024-25 that probably feels like an S-Class next to a Mirage)
There was always an excuse. I just don't drive one since I exclusively only drive depreciated used luxoboxes, so I wouldn't know enough about how they're shit otherwise.

Once again, the Chevrolet Express reigns supreme

The base trim of the Zook Jimny comes with a single din CD player and steelies here, it is very based

It's illegal to not have a screen at all because backup cameras are mandatory. Get used to driving old cars or get into government to change the law. Except that probably won't work anyway, because shoving everything into a touchscreen means manufacturers can make repeated last-minute changes to the layout or even release the product incomplete and patch it later.

>>28509673 (OP)
isn't a screen mandatory on every new car given that backup cameras are mandatory now?

screens are fine, touchscreens are shit

>>28509679
I actually don’t hate it.

>>28509816
kek, fuckin saved

Backup camera display can be put on the rearview mirror.

>makes place for screen
>too broke to actually buy screen
>imbeds a 90's revolutionary digital radio system complete with external button control
>mounts to the location the screen would have gone
>retains shape of screen to make poor people feel like they are still getting the tablet experience

I will never understand auto manufacturing decisions.

lmao imagine trading the bank's car in every 3-5 years and not just buying it new and holding on for 30+ years instead. Who does that?
