It must be said that the Captur on board software is hilariously bad. (I have a 2018 captur) it's not that it's entirely dysfunctional, it's kludgey and painful.

It's not only the superiority of physical buttons, carmakers seem to be bad at simple, distraction-free UI.

- A single UI task (cancel navigation, switch radio station) takes 4-6 screen presses through some dialogs/menus that have only one option

- the thing responds too slow, there are some superfluous animations and in general there's long delays between presses and feedback on the screen that you touched something.

- Random crashes when not doing anything besides driving

- Random crashes (more frequently) when using android auto or making phone calls

- Updating the software takes 30 minutes, during which no information is shown besides a randomly resetting progress bar.
