My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

That's why I still simp for Infiniti. They haven't yet updated the Q50 interior to the new trend and I hope they never do. I love my buttons for things I need to do while in motion. I hate Tesla for popularizing this crap.
Thankfully the luxury brands and Toyota are still holding out.
I got a Toyota Auris 2 Hybrid (The smaller Prius 2, lol) I absolutely LOVE having all the buttons I have to use daily as physical knobs and buttons, like radio volume, air con and music source selection. Everything else, like dashboard settings, navigation or phone menu, which you shouldn't use while driving anyway, are accessible through the touch screen and can be further navigated with the physical buttons. It's not to distracting and can be somewhat used while driving without distracting you.
I love the Prius, this makes me love it more. That sounds very similar to the UX in my Q50. I wish more cars were like this. I know the Rav4 is like that too, so I think Toyota is just smart, as always
My first car was a 1994 Toyota Starlet. After 20 years it still ran perfectly. I was clueless about cars then as well, never did an oil change and probably never changed the tires as well. It cost 250 bucks at the time. I drove that small hero for 4 years, before I had to sell it, because of financial reasons.
It still drove perfectly then as well.
My second car was a Citroen C4 from 2004. Broke down in a year, and even in that year it was 2 months in the workshop. We did some few things ourselves, because a friend of mine is a hobby car mechanic. Some things in that car were just straight up weirdly placed or so fricking annoying to deal with.
The Auris 2014 is now my third car. Never had any problem until now. Always go to the yearly checkups, nothing found at all. This is the first time I got my car professional car washes in those big automated wash streets. I love that special snowflake (it's pearlescent white, so my wife calls it snowflake 😄)
Damn almost ten years with no issues? That is incredible!
Oh nonono, I bought the Citroen C4 used as well. The Toyota lasted 4 years. It was a while after I was able to purchase my second car, which broke down in a year.
