I dunno, I got my first car with Car Play a year ago. I'm not super impressed. It's buggy and slow and the interface is clunky. It's better than using my phone directly, barely, but I still would have bought the car if it didn't have it. All I really want is music and maps anyway, and I can just get a cheap phone mount for my dashboard like I did with my old car so I don't have to look down at it.

Out of curiosity, which manufacturer? I suspect that CarPlay quality varies a lot by manufacturer; e.g. it sounds like GM really never tried very hard to get their CarPlay implementation to work well.

  Subaru (it's a BRZ)

  It is definitely true that the display and input latency on the headend screen is in control of the car manufacturer, so not all Carplay/AA implementations are equal. I've seen it on rental cars-- some are great and some are crap. But the software on the screens is great! Not something that can be said about, for instance, Ford SYNC (TM).

    I would be astonished if there is no spec for the maximum allowed latency in Carplay/AA.

      It must be a fairly high maximum, or the car companies just pulls a Volkswagen every time Apple comes by to check.

  You'd think that would be enough to get Apple to take action. Like "Made for Apple" or "THX" it should require a minimum level of capability. Or else, Apple risks users thinking it's their hardware that is sucking.
