Nice but radio is problematic

I luv the look and feel but I’m scared it’s a lil problematic. The Bluetooth works with my playlist when it wants to. It’ll stop syncing to my music but continue to work with my calls. Kinda annoying. Also, the music quality in my Tahoe, Benz, and Camry was waaaaaaay better. Sometimes the engine sounds weird to me but I’m no mechanic. I’m nervous about the longevity of this car but time will tell. I still love it so far and would buy it again. I might just change the whole music system later on.
