Well, logically thinking, if you were completely satisfied with the car except for Android Auto and owned the car ( really owned, not PCP or whatever where you actually owe money to the bank and the car is a collateral on that loan) would you sell it? If not then can you really count it as a reason? This word implies it's a sufficient condition, but I am not in UK and not even native English speaker, so I might be wrong here. And just FYI - you don't have to hand over a leased car, at least in the US, you can pay it off and keep it.

Dude, you're focusing on this one point too much. Yes, reasons can add up. No, a reason doesn't have to be sufficient on its own. The car having uncomfortable seats, loud exhaust or no android Auto are not a reason to swap cars alone, but in aggregate they are. Like, think about houses - a small bedroom, noisy neighbour and no fast internet are probably no reasons to move houses on their own - if you told someone you moved houses just because your neighbour was loud people would think you're weird. But when you start listing other reasons in addition to that, people understand. Same for relationships(small reason to leave add up), changing employment or even changing your phone - once the list of reasons for changing is long enough, you make the jump, you can finish justify it to yourself. And FYI - in UK you can't keep a lease, that's specifically the difference between a lease and a purchase contract. I'm also not a native English speaker so apologies for perhaps not explaining things clearer.

  Dude, you returned a leased car (like 99% of people who lease) and then decided it would be a great argument to support somebody who believes that car manufacturers add gimmick features to the cars so people change them like cellphones.

    I honestly forgot what the argument was about at this point. I thought it was me saying that the lack of android auto contributed to my decision to change the car. I don't recall supporting anyone, but then again it was a long time ago now.
