If I had my way, my car would have a cassette player _and_ a CD player. I won't buy a car, new or used, if it doesn't at least have a CD player though. I'm a fan of physical media. I like to own what I buy and not be at the whim and waywardness of Spotify or other music services. You wouldn't permanently rent a car, would you? "Sorry, we no longer rent out this car. Your engine will be shut down on the 27th of the month."
You are 100% correct on this. This car luckily had a DVD player in it and it was fantastic. Played music, movies, and had CarPlay and Android auto. Unfortunately it seems that renting media and subsequently features of your car are inevitable. Hopefully there is enough pushback from people like us to stop this “progression”.
Funny story. The concept started out as 5 minutes. The idea stuck. The challenge for our presenter and editors is to keep it to 5 minutes. They have yet to do so. Stay tuned, they may learn how not to be so long winded.
