Car dealerships made a lot sense in the pre-youtube/doug demuro age, they can explain the tech, the new cruise control options or passenger side airbags. These days cars are generally pretty reliable, have heavy feature parity at their price points, and car rental is accessible if you would like to try before you buy. Certainly, there are edge cases, but it's probably good enough for most people weighing something like a chevy bolt over a ford focus.
