Naughty: Ford MyFord Touch
A work in progress describes Ford’s MyFord Touch system, which was released with much fanfare by the company and received general disdain from critics. Updates have been released, but, overall, none of Cars.com’s editors have been particularly thrilled with the system. Common complaints include touch-screen latency, small fonts, poor ergonomics, inconsistent voice-recognition success and just being difficult to use.
Nice: Hyundai Blue Link
Using Hyundai’s Blue Link is extremely intuitive, especially given its number of capabilities. We didn’t have to fumble through an owner’s manual just to activate Bluetooth streaming audio unlike some more complicated systems (see above). A high success rate for voice activation and physical buttons and dials, plus quick loading time after plugging in a device, are among the other reasons Blue Link won us over.
