Good car with annoying features
The car runs smoothly, has excellent gas mileage and is fun to drive. The infotainment system is probably the best I’ve ever seen! Now for the negatives:
The remote start option is a little weird. The car is so quiet that it is hard to tell if the remote starter worked. It also has a tendency to chime alerts or even turn off if I help my child into their car seat before jumping into the driver’s seat and driving off. Lastly, the absolute worst “feature” of this car is its Virtual Engine Sound Simulation VESS system. This is the source of the backup alarm so that pedestrians know you’re backing up. The problem is, about 80% of the time, I’m backing up somewhere like my driveway where there are no pedestrians to alert and the sound is so loud that it wakes up my family and neighbors when I return home late at night, and most repair places won’t touch it because it’s a safety feature. Let me put it this way: if your fire alarm went off every time you open an outside door to enter or exit your home, just in case there was a fire, would you be very happy with that “safety feature?” I think not.
