I get the impression they don’t quite know what to make of it.
I think these very modern cars with so many menus and sub menus for settings take quite a while to settle in with. Too much choice isn’t necessarily good in some areas unless you pull over every time you reach a different road surface to wade through menus to find the perfect setting for engine, gearbox and more so suspension when you have almost infinite adjustability. Fine if you’re a long term owner who has time and inclination to piss about with it, but maybe not so good for a motoring journalist in a fresh car on unfamiliar roads trying to sum up a whole raft of settings he/she barely has time to sample properly.
God help a normal human being trying to evaluate a car on a standard test drive!!
Good point about the road test focussing on the actual driving dynamics rather than just yet another head scratching session about the new tech.
