A friend of mine just bought a fully loaded R-Design Volvo XC40, recently. Nice looking car. He wanted to me to drive it to see how good it was. So I did.
He left all the safety features on. I gotta say: while i'm the first in line to applause how safe the cars are these days, I must say they can be f***** annoying. In fact, I wasn't driving the car as much as it was driving me. It was beeping all the time for no reason and it even came close from sending me in the ditch once, simply because it didn't know what to do with a car brake-checking me in front (nah, I wasn't too close, far from that).
Sad thing was: I had to go into 34 menus to turn the safety features off. Very annoying. Thank God, there are still basic, well made, safe cars that are letting you drive without a nanny telling you what to do.
I'd buy a fully loaded Lada Niva (with warming seats and a/c) instead of a nanny car. I'm dead serious.
