Agreed and starred before you get review bombed with people complaining about ‘capacitive touch’ interfaces....

I love my MK8 R.

In a sense yes, but they both have custom interfaces that are car-centric. I have Android Auto and when I get in the car, my phone connects via Bluetooth automatically.

Things that GM’s software will never be able to do: music I was playing as I was walking out the door picks up where I left off; the restaurant that…

Why isn’t the Florida GOP standing up and stomping their feet to protect Disney’s First Amendment Right?!

Oh....yeah, my bad, only care about the 1st amendment if it’s protecting a viewpoint I specifically have a vested interest in....

How are these still allowed to be sold? How has the maker not been sued into the ground for false advertising?

He was probably hoping to dump fuel on it and then light it on fire with the afterburners going full power, ie the F-111 example from above.

The thing that surprises me (well, not really) is that Russia would lie about what happened, like there wasn’t going to be video of it from the Reaper?! It’s clear as day what happened, and it happened exactly as the US originally reported.

It’s almost like they don’t watch the Russia dash cam car crash videos on…

Only if you get permission from $kay.

Ah, the Land Rover in it’s natural habitat, on the back of a flatbed tow truck headed to the shop.

Weird analogy but ok. There were a lot of complaints by reviewers and testers, but the vast majority of actual owners don’t have issues with it. It’s a new system approach, and does take time getting used to, but that doesn’t make it inherently bad.

When I get in a car that doesn’t automatically turn seat and steering…

<hugs his mk8 R with no buttons and systems that are smart enough to turn themselves on and off automatically>

It’s tiring, but I still have to come in here and defend these. If you didn’t buy a GTI or R because of the touchscreens, all those who own them thank you. Literally took me two weeks to get used to it and so much of the system is intuitive and automatic, that it will be tough to go back to a dumb button system.

So…

I’m with you. I’ve never stopped loving them and whenever I see one, my insurance agent almost gets a call because I nearly wreck my car rubber-necking.

None, hence why I’m so sad we totaled it that same year. Had we tried that in our current Subaru Forester, we’d have broken every strut and shock... ha!

Approx. location, right near mile marker 38. But with almost 2feet of snow drifted into the ditch.

Pretty sure in the story telling of this approximately 45min later when we got to our destination, I said those exact words!

Year before our son was born we were travelling north on I-69 in Indiana just after the New Year to visit some friends. We’d had 8-9in of snow a few days before and blizzard like winds and while the roads were clear, the wind was blowing fine snow across the dark colored roads where it was freezing. Every 1/4 mile…

It was an ugly car anyway...

Here here! I firmly believe that all the hate from early reviews, which I think was mostly unwarranted, really turned people off and it was so blown out of proportion.

Ok, call it what you want, you still have to actually press the button, it’s damn near impossible to ‘accidentally’ press something unless you drive with your hand on steering wheel like a gorilla.

Just actually owning the vehicle unlike 99% of the people complaining about it, I just don’t understand the hatred...haha!

…

If you don’t press the pad down, it doesn’t do anything. If you tap on the heated steering wheel button or the ‘VIEW’ button like it’s a touch screen it doesn’t do anything. None of the button on the steering where are capacitive touch except the two bottom sliders.
