Fuck, it's made the driving experience damned near impossible for "lazy/comfort cars." And I like a lazy, comfort drive. But FFS, the other day, the rental car outfit put me in a new Honda Odyssey minivan. I get in, the hazards are on. It took me three minutes of hunting around the front of the vehicle to find the button to turn them off (not in any of the usual, central places -- or on the steering column). Then, I find the push start button....but cannot for the life of me figure out how to put it in gear. Shifter on column or floor? Nope. Instead, three buttons in a busy main console. Well, not three buttons. One button up top for Drive. Then, below it, kind of a button/switch for Reverse. Then below that, a button for Park. I adjust the mirrors (because the last driver was obviously a dwarf). Ten minutes after getting in the car, I can now leave the lot. On my drive, I stop to get a bottle of water. Come out....the mirrors all re-set to their previous setting, so I have to adjust them all again. Is there a button or something somewhere to make my setting the default, so I don't have to keep adjusting them? Fuck if I know. Maybe it's on the dash. Or the door. Or the center console. Or maybe it's the 9th option on the third page of the 2nd menu option on the LCD screen display.
I want to start the car, use the turn signal, hazards, windshield wipers, and headlights, and shift it into its various gears. And I apparently need a 30 minute orientation session to figure out how to use features THAT HAVE BEEN EASY AND USABLE FOR FUCKING 70 FUCKING YEARS, WHY IN THE FUCK DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE OF THEM?
