New cars going well. I dont love all the automation and safety stuff though. The lane departure system is really annoying when your swerving to avoid potholes and the car has the nerve to complain that your trying to protect it. But beyond that fuel economy is better than expected and its a lot more comfortable when 3 of us have to go somewhere. And Carplay, maaaan carplay is soo good!

I never use lane assist, it’s a pain. But yeah after coming from an old car relying a mounted phone, using carplay/android auto was a whole new world.

I hired a car recently that had that. Great fuel economy, but that lane thingy, pushed me out of the lane on more than one occasion. Very frustrating.

Kia Sportage to replace the Mazda 6 Diesel, which I have to say, is the worst car in the world. Edit: The mazda, not the Kia. Kia is great so far.

Yeah I remember the trouble you had with the Mazda - glad to hear the Sportage is doing good for you guys! And yeah, how funny is it to upgrade to a car that has things like Apply Play? Like, holy shit, my car has APPS now!
