Teens tick every box of a terrible driver: don’t signal, lack of situational awareness, drive way too fast or way too slow, tailgate, and generally beat their cars to hell within days of ownership. What is the one car that matches to that kind of driver in the most complete way possible?

You are allowed rear tinted windows. Just not the windshield or the front side windows.

I think they had to make sure the driver couldn’t see it or it would contravene some regulations about watching movies while driving etc.

Yeah, that whole Dash is a bit of a mess

Wow, that’s really bad screen integration on the passenger dash.

“I heard you like screens DAWG, so we put SCREENS on your SCREENS”

Why don’t we just make the entire interior of the car a screen? Even the seats, you can use ass motions to activate various functions.

Yeah after what Nissan has done for years and years I cannot forgive them even if they did step back in the right direction with this new gen Pathfinder (which they have). The last gen Pathfinder was a flabby hunk of whale shit.

I remember a joke a college buddy told me back in 1987:

Any Hummer that isn’t owned by an actual government military agency.

I’m going to bet it’ll be pretty close in size to the Ioniq 5.  To be honest, though, if we are stuck with crossovers as ‘the thing’, I like these maxi hatchback designs a lot more.  

No I get that, but that is generally not a situation where you need them in the second or 2 it would take to reach a dash button.  Generally if it took 10 or 15 seconds to hit like 2 things on a screen it would be fine.  That’s kind of what I was getting at, like it would be a situation where you pull over and flip…

Interesting. Typically at least where I am in the States you only put them on if you are having car trouble on or on the side of the road.  Outside of that they are rarely used in general.

Where I come from, when you come across some problem on the road that poses a danger to drivers and/or will significantly slow or even stop traffic on a highway, you get the hazard lights on posthaste. This can not only save approaching drivers from becoming part of said problem, it also reduces the chances of you bein…

Maybe you are just unlucky or I’m just lucky. In my 44 years on this Earth, I don’t think I have been in a situation where I needed them much less urgently.

Good step, but i would add temperature and seat heating to that list, and make any other climate controls always available. What lexus is currently doing in their newest cars is as touch-based as I would allow cars to go. And docking a star isn't enough. This tesla touch nonsense needs to be BANNED

So you need commonsense controls to get a 5-star rating...works for me.  Especially since manufacturers aren’t about to increase their costs by building a button version for the Euros and a screen version for us.  IE: global trade helping us also.

100% this.

HVAC (including heated seats / steering wheel), turn signals, wipers and frequently used stereo controls should ALWAYS be physical buttons. Any items that drivers interact with on a regular basis should be physical buttons / stalks. It’s like we want to move to everything automated / touch-based, but then realize that…

So they STILL haven’t gotten better??
