For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

I have a 2013 SUV that I’m not giving up without a fight. It has a rear view camera, blind spot detection, Bluetooth, heated seats, three zone climate control, automatic headlights and wipers, TPMS, and even a decent sat-nav (small screen), but none of the connected stuff. Do I wish it was more fuel-efficient? Absolutely. Am I selling it in the foreseeable future? Nope. I’m keeping it forever.

We have a 2020 Mazda that I absolutely hate. All the driver nanny features are irritating as hell. False alarms practically every time I drive it, and I'm driving pretty gently. Even if I turn them off, I still had to pay for them, and they make the car more likely to be totalled in a minor crash.

Our 2012 Accord was near the height of automotive excellence. A better nav system would have been good.
