Amazing. All the vehicles I’ve seen recently make it a priority that you are never without some kind of entertainment-system racket. Unplugged the iPhone by mistake, or maybe forgot to connect it before driving off? Bluetooth dropped? Better get ready to BLAST THE RADIO! And when you do connect, it’s important to start up some kind of music, even if that’s just “alphabetically first in the library”.
I complain about my 2016 Altima and its overcomplicated, finicky CVT that's started to slip - but from all I hear of cars made since then, I think I'm just gonna keep it on the road until it dies or I do. At least when I want it to be quiet, it's quiet, and it doesn't make noise again till I say.
Silence, how utterly unthinkable.
