Cars We Drive!

Took the sofa on a road trip around PNW. It’s way easier to drive than the S3 for sure.

V6 + quiet cabin + lane keep assist and radar cruise = heaven

Not as cool as @patrick_b slalom but this is more everyday car pic

The first time I did a long drive with radar cruise + lane keeping was amazing. It made an 8+ hour drive so much less stressful.

Yeah I've got to say the wife's Genesis GV80 is the best road trip car I've ever road tripped in. The ACC and lane following is so well implemented that the main risk is dozing off while you're doing 85 mph down I-75.

Just got a '25 Camry hybrid. So far like it a lot but it's aggravating to have to manually reconnect my phone to it every time I start up. Where the hell is the option for auto connect lol

Agreed. That was my first time with this combination and made the drive less arduous for sure

The one feature I don't want to ever live without is Audi's Traffic Jam assist. It's makes stop and go slogs so much less painful.

Yeah, #1 feature set I miss having in our cars.

And I've said it before, but anyone who hates lane keep assist is likely a ****** driver or has an attitude problem (barring some early on really terrible implementations). It is only correcting you because you are veering and the occasional correction is only annoying because you don't like being informed that you're bad at something.

Sure, if you're engaging in some more spirited driving or something and are using the lane differently, that's a different story, but then just turn it off. It is made for long highway drives and the like.

edit: I even went down the rabbit hole on how to add it to my car...but it was a bit too expensive and relied on a bit too shady of a step where you had to have some guy in Lithuania on Instagram recode your car because the dealer wouldn't do it for you.

I've been saying here for years that adaptive cruise is a game changer.
