The price of pleasure

Post by Grumpyjohn1957 »

It's like my smoking habit.
I know I need to stop but I'm totally hooked.

I have never driven an electric car. But I did, sadly drive something called a KIA Ceed. I hated it, 1.5 engine was unresponsive, but worst and it was a rental, so didnt mess with setting, were the nonsense features:-

Lane assist, the steering wheel tries to take over.
Speed limit change warning - ever time you enter a different limit
Tyre pressure warning, is it in the settings on the display screen, no its on a button?
The worst is when near a motorways service station - a voice say "consider taking a brake"

I you hate driving, hate yourself and hate life - buy one.
