  IMO cars peaked around 2015

  Interiors looked really nice and you had analog dials etc. Wish some small screens, just enough.

  Today it's just big plastic dashboard with cheap tablets stuck in them

    The analog dials were an illusion. That information has been processed digitally for at least the last 25 years.

      I don't really care what's happening in the backend, I want it to look nice and not cheap

      Analog an illusion? Yes.

      Tactile effectiveness an illusion? No.

  2016 is still a good year as most of the connected tech isn’t supported anymore as it’s on the 3g network.

  Eh, my early g9 civic is nice, though I think they ruined it only like coupla years later with cell radios.

    I hope you get your money back when they fold.

  My 2014 Crosstrek is fine. Doesn’t even have eyesight.

    My 2020 Crosstrek with a manual is pretty good. The only things on the little touchscreen is the radio, backup camera, and android or apple for navigation. Also it isn’t integrated into the whole car so it can be replaced with an aftermarket unit. It has none of the blind spot monitoring, lane assist etc. It’s a lot of fun to drive on back roads, although it could use just a little more power.
