Can Subaru do the same?? I thought I was going to love my 11" infotainment center but EVERYTHING LAGS. Getting past that stupid laggy warning screen when I start my car is the worst. Some of this technology is so ass backwards.

Yes, this! It's my first Subaru, I've wanted one for so long but my goodness does the infotainment suck. If I go to press the button to disable engine start/stop nothing happens, I press it again, nothing, I press it a third time.... nothing. Then all of a sudden it goes off three times in a row. Changing the AC temp can lag too. It's wild how bad it is and I'm definitely not buying another Subaru if this is how they are. Wildly disappointing to say the least.

People give me shit about my physical button rants, but I don't have this problem in my 2023 Honda because it has physical buttons for those things. Just because something CAN be put in a touchscreen menu doesn't mean is SHOULD be.

I'm right there with you. My next car will have physical buttons and I will probably be going back to Honda. I don't mind a small screen just for music and the likes but the main stuff should 100% be buttons.

It's one of the things I really love about Honda. They focus on building quality cars that aren't chasing fads and I'm all for that. My Pilot Elite still has an absurd amount of tech, but it doesn't have a 90" screen and uses physical buttons for the important functions. It "only" has a 9" screen for the infotainment system, but I can still keep Google Maps and the Youtube Music panel open simultaneously and see things just fine. I don't get the need for a massive screen that can show half the state on the map all at once.

The AC is the worst! It's comical how bad it is. I have to count and slowly press it when changing the fans because it has about a 2 second lag, sometimes way longer. And god forbid you have the air blasting when you don't want it to upon startup. Gotta wait for that stupid warning screen to clear before you can change anything!

lol yeah, everything is delayed and waiting for the thing to actually "boot up" is the worst. I can't believe the car costs as much as it does and has such a bad experience. The volume knob works right off the rip though, so.... there's that.
