It's made even more infuriating because of how good the car is otherwise.Because they already have your money.
Would be the most cynical answer.
More realistically you have to differentiate between the posts of people who actually have the car and people who are reading from the sidelines.
The day to day experience is very poor.
Basics that worked consistently in previous iterations or other cars don't work consistently here.
It's not just that they got the new stuff wrong they got the relatively old stuff wrong because it's also unstable.
Outside of that.
For users who are familiar with development vs hardware it's very clear they didn't make even a minimum effort here. The hardware is there. There is enough memory. Enough storage. Presumably a fast enough processor.
This isn't just poor design and dev.
It's lazy design.
Last minute "the paint is still wet" design.
It may be the case that some people accept the flawed system, I'd have to assume all the people who have been using Windows their whole life, but that doesn't make it less flawed.
Which means either Honda has a long term plan to "fix it in post", of which there have been zero signs of so far, especially if you look at their "Honda link" apps.
Or they still haven't learned how important this stuff is to people under 35.
And the argument that "they made a nice car" falls apart.
I get weekly emails from them talking about how great all the tech options are and I've already bought the thing.
There is a good possibility they think this is actually fine.
That a boring old blah blah civic everyone has could be this nice is insane so that they dropped the ball so hard in this one area seems almost nonsensicle.
