What does being old have to do with not liking electronics?

Get Android Auto - vastly better voice recognition.

Same thing, Voice on my phone and other cars understands me quite well, on the vette I feel like I'm speaking a foreign language, most often wind up saying "cancel" , it gets that.

  • Electric doors and not being able to open them unless the car is in Park.
  • Clumsy roof handling to remove and replace.
  • Not being able to set my own Home Screen on Infotainment.
  • Lousy NAV voice recognition and the nanny block.
  • Bi Xenon lights. I want a separate halogen high beam.
  • Driving in fear that my A8 will start misbehaving.
  • Hard to shut rear hatch when the doors are closed and windows are up

These are all fairly minor annoyances.

MyLink is a big steamy turd, but I've worked my way around it at this point, otherwise I really like this car.

Default What don't I like

1) Sometimes it mysteriously clouds my sense of good judgement.

2) Irritating numb nuts who don't know the left lane is for passing.
Welcome to Florida, this is the law!

"The Florida Department of Transportation is reminding drivers that going too slow is against the law, too. Warnings have sprung up on Interstate 4, Florida's Turnpike and other major roads telling motorists that if they choose to drive slower than the flow of traffic, they need to avoid the left lanes."
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...ing-story.html

"Mar 29, 2016 - TAMPA (FOX 13) - It's one of the most frustrating parts of driving for many commuters -- drivers going too slow in the left lane, clogging up traffic. ... "That lane is used for passing." Florida revised the law regarding the left lane back in 2014."

Hate that the Corvette doesn't have blind-spot monitoring. You'd think with a car that has that big of a blind-spot, they'd offer it, but alas, no.

Driver or passenger not easily able to get something directly behind them in the cargo area. That minor complaint is offset by the supportive C7 seat bolsters making such maneuvers all but impossible.

EDIT: Almost forgot the bright OnStar mirror lights that make me think I'm being pulled over at night.
