I've rented a bunch of cars, pretty much everything with a jog-dial type setup, sucks - just plain sucks, too much visual interaction is required for me to operate while driving.
Ford and older GM products both has severe issues with lag, the Audi I rented seemed okay, but was maximally unintuitive, the Volvo I rented took me 15 min to figure out how to turn the radio off, the Mazda was pretty good, but again, jog-dial-bad.
The only one I found that I actually liked was the Chrysler/Mopar UConnect, it was intuitive, easy to use, and performed about as well as one would expect any infotainment system to - its the only one I found easy to use too. It was one of the driving factors when I bought a new car, I bought a Chrysler 300S with it for that reason.
I even like the inbuilt nav, even if I only use it on long trips for city to city driving because frankly, entering address data is hard.
- mymythisisthis 4y agoI really want simple to use, nicely labeled, buttons for windshield wipers and high-beams. I've given up on anything being usable in a car's interface.
- Aloha 4y agoThe 300 has that, multi-function switch on the drivers side of the wheel for all of that (as is typical in american cars) clear either icons or text labels.
