Try again: Be glad it's not a BMW!
The more i see of these "cool features", the more i am glad i settled on a plain vanilla PT Cruiser. I've read that the BMW I-Drive (copywrite infringement Apple?), is a real monster. You need a course to tune the radio!!. A person i know who got a Rolls Royce several years ago commented on how happy he was that there weren't a lot of gadgets. Just simple familear controls to drive and monitor the engine. No voices saying "your door is open". What are they like today?

In my opinion, all these features are either response to Government regulations, or gee-whiz to satisfy the marketers. Safety features are good, but the advertisements nullify these with "hip" young drivers doing stupid things on the road.
