VW really dropped the ball on software, no wonder they're buying now into other car manufacturers like Rivian, in hopes to use someone else's more developed software.
Yeah. Both hardware and software, sadly. Their QA is going down the drain.
Happy Hyundai customer now.
Is there actually any car manufacturer that has decent hardware and software? I have never driven a really "modern" car but from all that I've seen so far the interfaces are typically horrible to interact with and laggy to the point where I prefer my car as dumb as possible
Really can't complain about Hyundai/Kia and Volvo (Android) so far.
If you buy new and sell before 100k miles, Hyundai/Kia are great. Otherwise, you better be okay with oil consumption and potential engine work, the new engines are kinda prone to failure.
Tbh, with a BEV I am not that concerned with oil consumption and engine work.
Why bother with software, then? Late-80s and 90s Type III Jettas can be absolutely bulletproof if you find them in not-bagged and well cared for condition.
