    It doesn’t need it, it will drive just fine without app connection, but it provides convenient remote access and control capabilities.

        My first car was a 1992 honda civic. As time went on and cars cot more modern, i yearned for a more modern car. Infotainment seemed like so much fun, all thr convenient knick knacks and gizmos.

        Now, unironocally my dream car is my 1992 honda civic from back in the day

            I had a 1988 Scirocco 16V. I loved that car but it was not reliable. The tacked on AC and accessory belt system was horrific. It ate timing belts and wheel bearings. The best VW was a dead simple model, the Rabbit or Quantum/Fox chassis with maybe AC if you felt adventurous.

          Get me a '94 Camry with a nice stereo and I’ll be happy.

          This is the millennial midlife crisis vehicle. Not the Lamborghini or Ferrari or Porsche or Corvette. Nah. Something that I can leave behind for my descendants.

        Well there’s always buying an old beater or a classic and restoring it. But you’d have to go more than 40 years back to find cars that are entirely without digital components.

        That would not even be legal on today’s roads, at least in EU for new vehicles.

        It’s the one modern feature I wouldn’t want to give up. Cooling my car down before I get in it without having to walk out to it is very nice.
