Both Toyota and Honda hit home runs with their latest redesigns to the Camry and Accord respectively. Really sleek, expensive looking cars.

For reference, the only car I ever had spend significant time in the shop was my 2006 Mazdaspeed6 - made in Hiroshima. One stint was 23 days straight. My first car was an 81 Escort GLX...so I've never must have experienced the pre-80's quality you speak of.

This. Also Toyota still is not offering CarPlay for some reason in any of it's vehicles. Those are two negatives for me. Although I must say I am glad they did put out a relatively sharp model update... got a new 2017 Camry for the fiance for a song because of it. Already kind of regret not getting something with CarPlay though, she does not like the entertainment/navigation setup.

Apple Maps, especially through CarPlay, has gotten a lot better in the last year. They have been adding functionality and tweaking stuff on a regular basis it seems. I would still prefer google maps over apple maps but I don't want an andriod phone. Toyota also does not have Andriod Auto from what I remember.

I enjoy driving our Ford Focus daily beater more than I do the 335i.

it's not necessary to use car play for streeming from pandora, spotify and amazon which I don't think is on car play. I'm able to stream from any service and have controls (like skips and going back to previous tracks) and also get album art in i-drive via blue tooth. Starting a new play list or radio station can't be done with bluetooth as far as I'm aware, however. Nor sure if I can do that with Alexa.

Yeah another reason I don't use it much since I don't plug my phone in for short trips.

As for GMC vs Ford for me it was no contest. Now given I had never owned or even driven a truck before this one my expectations may be different. I drove the Silverado and the GMC equivalent (forgot the name) and also a RAM BEFORE I drove the F150. Once I drove the F150 there was no question which one I wanted. The F150 drove and handled the most like a car vs the others were very heavy and truck like if that make any sense. Maybe that's what a truck guy wants but coming from sports cars I preferred the F150. I also thought the features and interior of the F150 Platinum was better than the top trim GMC or Dodge (although I would say the Dodge wasn't bad, 2nd place IMO). Although they are all soooo much better than they use to be. I love that the US automakers are really stepping up their game. |
