    Worse is auto LED headlight smart dimming. It tries to brighten on dark stretches and dim when it thinks there are oncoming cars. It will never let your eyes get accustomed to night driving. Too many reflective curve\turn signs like these…

    And it will dim to its lowest legal setting thinking, “lots of cars!”, leaving you to complete the datk curve with a, “oh sh🤬 did my headlight just burn out?!” feeling.

      Jesus. From this thread, it sounds like driving a modern-made car means having an anxious back-seat driver that you can’t kick out constantly trying to mess with your settings and telling you you’re driving wrong.

      It reminds me to take good care of my 10+ year old car…

        That’s true for so many cars… but 500% for any and all chinese cars. Remember that next time you click on disguised ad “review” of one of these EVs.

        Don’t worry, it’s all bullshit. Kia Ceen SW '22:

        • keeps you in lane, but if you try to sharply turn, it will let you, you will feel a bit of resistance, but barely on a “notice it’s against it” level. If you turn the blinker on, zero resistance.
        • there is an auto near-far lights system, but it’s disabled by default, I only turn it on when he road constantly switches between villages and dark highway, and it does it’s job well
        • it has adaptive cruise control so it holds the distance automatically. It is super awesome during long trips, because you just control what it does, and don’t have to hit the brakes whenever some asshole swerves in front of you (because you keep a good distance, right?:) )
