I am sure this article has been shared before, however I wanted to have a look at this topic.
The articles short summary is this:
All 25 car brands we researched earned our *Privacy Not Included warning label – making cars the worst category of products that we have ever reviewed
I am currently driving a 2014 Ford Fiesta which just has a radio with a CD player and Bluetooth. I do not need more than that in a car.
The reason I am looking at all is that that the Fiesta does not belong to me and the friend owning it will be moving out in a bit, so I kinda need another one.
There seems to be one brand that is not as bad as the other ones (but still bad): Renault; mozilla’s review…
Maybe I will have a look at their cars.
What do you guys think? Stick to older used cars and not use an EV or look at which of the manufacturers have the least bad privacy policy?
Why not?
To answer any questions related to vehicle legislation in the US, look no further than the “Big Three”: GM, Ford, and Chrysler/AMC/DaimlerChrysler/FCA/Stellantis.
These three dipshits bitch and moan incessantly to daddy government any time they have to contend with actual competition. Look at Japanese kei trucks for the most recent example. Some states are even outright revoking their registrations despite being 100% legally imported, inspected, insured, and licensed. The excuse is “they are unsafe”, meanwhile states will happily register Bubba’s '32 Ford with a SBC, no mufflers, no cats, no seatbelts, headlight output equivalent to 3 candles, a single brake light, and no actual structure besides “pretty metal”. But kei trucks bad. Because safety.
🙄
Freedom, probably.
No idea on the technical reason, but it’s complicated. There’s a lot of foreign brands that are banned here.
