wrt. Cars, there's a whole can of worms which IMHO matters to every car shopper (whether they think they care about it or not): Ergonomics. Every driver may have their own preferences on where important controls (pedals, steering, AC temperature, volume, etc.) should be; every passenger (including the driver) may have preferences on the hip point, seating position, interior material, etc.. In reality these are (rightfully) widely differentiated across models and makes.
- perl4ever 7y agoPeople complaining about CVTs is a cliche. On the other hand, I generally like them, and really dislike any transmission that doesn't shift smoothly (although then I bought a car with one for other reasons). One reason people may think cars are all the same is because auto journalism has atrophied. I think partly because good journalism is unhelpful in selling ads now, and partly because nobody cares about it for making buying decisions now anyway. I remember when every single review of the Kia Niro said its transmission was atrocious. They don't say that anymore. But I test drove one, and I don't think anything's changed, probably they just are better at avoiding people who might give a bad review.
