Why I don't like newer cars. Way too much, I drive my car to. . . well, drive. I rarely ever talk on my phone while driving, if at all. I do text, but I use the TTS service on my phone instead of typing. Newer cars are a pain anyway. It's almost impossible to do simple work on them. My grandma's '04 accord is IMPOSSIBLE to do anything. Do simply change the air filter I had to remove the whole intake off the throttle body in order for the airbox to even budge. And don't even get me started on the spark plugs. I think companies design engine compartments so you are almost forced to pay a shop or the stealership.
Anyway, so I stop myself from ranting, my opinion is that car companies are putting in way too manyunecessary things in the simple car. Ford Sync is a great idea, but with my experiences it was hard to use and took much more effort to make a simple call than just pressing 2 buttons on my phone todo the same action. Oh and that was after getting bluetooth to connect, which is a whole other story.
