I almost bought one too, but something about the car (id7) didn't work for me. I hope they can improve it before my current car breaks down.

What was it? I'm curious!

Mostly a feeling, but I think it's due to the control/media systems being too complex. Too much stuff.
I absolutely hated that the car picked up something we said as its control words and told us that it didn't understand what we wanted. Bit of a dystopic moment, especially when it happened right when I was trying to figure out how to work the car.
That AI stuff just 100% positively MUST be opt-in.

Can't you just turn the keyword thing off?
-
The first time I'm test driving it? Yeah I guess I could have if I had even known such a feature existed. I learned about it when the car started talking to me.

I mean I get that that freaks you out but as long as I can turn it off I wouldn't base a buying decision on this. But if the general vibe doesn't fit then it just doesn't fit, I get that.

I would never buy a car that is "connected". In general I hate it when a device can listen for spoken commands. And I don't trust those opt-in/opt-out options, I don't think they all follow that setting, they just don't let you know/notice they still listen. (Call me paranoia, I don't mind ;) )

VW also has or had really poor security for their connected car data. So in addition to them selling your data to advertisers, hackers could access it for free
