I guess I don't just don't see how people end up hating something that was obviously there all along when "that something" is something they could have passed upon at the outset.
If you like a certain vehicle and it meets your needs, would this one detail kill the decision?
It's a give and take. For some, they will never want it until the day comes and their favorite vehicle comes with it.
I have all the nannies on mine. With the lane departure warning system I didn't want the annoying beeping nor the feedback and certainly not the correction. So I adjusted the settings. Now I get a visual warning in the HUD. So I do understand the tendency to dislike certain systems. But it's not like we can pick and choose either.
