Probably under 5 layers of menus. I lucked out and my latest car has no screen, all easy controls. Alas, it will probably be the last I can get away with on that. The President is a fink. |

I rent new cars every week, but never SUV's. They seem to be the ones with the annoying features. What all the cars have is the annoying back-up screen, like you need that to back up the car. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That screen is required on all vehicles. I would have thought the features would be similar on both. I rent a car like once every 5-10 years. The President is a fink. |

The lane changing buzzer was the first I've seen and I rent every kind of car. I didn't know what it even was for the first 5 times it went off. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I may see one in 10 years. When you cannot afford to buy new, you wait. I just got bluetooth the first time last year. That is a nice thing. The President is a fink. |

I didn't have the thing long enough to notice. I was too busy cursing every time it went off. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

If something times out, can't let it sit in the micro longer than a minute, or it starts beeping. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

kenarman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 14 Posts: 4515 | The only time I have had the lane change alarm feature was when I drove a friends Tesla. He said it could be turned off. If it couldn't be turned off it would drive me crazy. On the quiet and twisty roads that I drive I often "canyon drive". The damned thing would never shut up.

SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4175 | Just arrived in Albany New York. Got out of the airport and pushed my Uber app. It said no cars available! Luckily there were two regular cabs sitting there and available. I guess the price point herehas gotten to the point where there is no one who wants to sit around waiting near the airport. |
