Putting Mazda on my no buy list π
There are worse reasons to not buy an automobile, but lack of app integration is probably the silliest reason I've seen so far.
Privacy issues, subscriptions for basic features, removal of physical buttons in favor of janky touch screens...the list is endless and you guys settled on the app not working on a 3rd party system as the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Yeah but there are too many brands out there to choose from; as a consumer our only power is to speak with our wallets.
Corporations donβt get to pick and choose which actions from them result in lower sales; all of their actions are judged, and by all potential customers.
