If you cut the car off from the middle of the licence plate it looks a lot better, kinda like a 4th gen Civic

SUVs. SUVs. SUVs.

So tired of SUVs.

Nope. Dashboard is buttonless, offcenter, and a long wide tablet.

Next!

Hyundai - sluggish infotainment and super nagging with beeps upon beeps.

I test drove the Kona and Ionic models in Australia a couple of months ago. I also drive numerous different hire cars for work and I can say Hyundai has the most intrusive driver alert system out of the lot of them.

Constant and loud pings and bings from the safety system. Infotainment on the Kona was also very slow to respond.

Yes, I am doing 103km/hr in a 100 zone, thank you, Hyundai.

Yes, I am again doing 103km/hr after briefly dipping to 98km/hr thank you, Hyundai.

Yes, I am nearly on the edge of the lane, mainly because a large semi is coming towards me in the opposite direction and they're looking a little loosey-goosey on this two-way highway, thank you Hyundai.

Yes, I am looking at the dash wondering what is causing the noises instead of watching the road, thank you, Hyundai.

Yes, I am now actively poking around in the menus trying to turn this shit off instead of keeping my eyes on the road, thank you, Hyundai.

After those test drives, I bought a Volvo instead. It has very low key warnings (or a buzz from the steering wheel like a mild ripple strip if it thinks you are leaving your lane). Just like Hyundai , you can't permanently turn the speed limit warnings off, but you can adjust them to be up to 20km/hr above or below the speed limit.
