Current Tacos, 4Runners, and FJs all have the Reverse Tardis effect of terrible interior packaging and space utilization given their exterior dimensions. I was hoping that Toyota figured out that part but the all-new Sequoia is equally deficient.

It’s the aggressive decontenting as well. There are a lot of missing features for the price

So they somehow both succeeded AND failed to out-bland the current Accord. Schrödinger’s car.

What you’re describing are mostly user and service department issues, not strictly “phone” issues. Still a pain in the ass but not the same thing.

A friend of mine has been going round and round with Hyundai about wireless Carplay that worked when he bought the car but then had it serviced and it stopped working immediately after (wired still worked). Now Hyundai is telling him that the vehicle was never wireless Carplay capable in the first place, which is complete bullshit, and won’t troubleshoot to fix a problem that they most likely caused. So yeah it’s a problem but not 100% in the way you’re attempting to describe.
