@buermann I downloaded and read the manual for the Prius Prime. It has all sorts of neat features including AC power onboard. Plus some creepy ones. The worst of which is the navigation and infotainment is all cloud based with a built in cellular modem you cannot turn off. And the navigation expires unless you pay for it.

I try to avoid using cars' consoles as much as possible since I find them even more distracting than my phone, so once I connect that to the car's bluetooth audio I basically never touch the console again.

That still sounds a little too basic-car-as-service-that-will-soon-have-advertisements-even-though-you're-paying-to-use-the-thing-you-bought to me. I may never buy a car again, at the rate it's going.

@buermann Likewise. Existing car bought used, has a DVD navigation system, non distractive. Very rarely I have to look something up on a phone because the disc is out of date, but for the most part it still works.

I would like to find a car without external attachments.
