I had a long chat at the VW dealers about cutting edge tech and the view was to avoid cars which need software upgrades and so on. For me a flat screen in a car is something to run away from.
Let the tecchy worshippers live with all that stuff!
I want a manual gearbox and a handbrake lever which sticks out of the floor. Simple enough requirement but getting harder to find.
I’ve never seen the point of manufacturers doing away with dipsticks (oil) and sensors to tell you that you need to put air in the tyres. I like to manually check this sort of thing.
