    Wait, is the hyuundai/ kia system really good? I don't keep up on thing, but I swear a kia may be in my future.
    Yea, it's the most human like lane keeping I've driven. It drives exception lane markings such as widening lanes, new lanes opening, etc. like I would. My E class would sometimes want to stick to the right as a lane widens into a new lane then realize and jerk back into the proper lane. My Sienna would just ping pong all the way to Edmonton and won't warn you it's confused until after it's driven you on a path to death lol.

    Wouldn’t the answer (keeping to the spirit of the thread) be genesis then? At least they deliver those to you so you don’t have to be seen in a Kia dealership

    Is that the "Highway Drive Assist (HDA), or:
    Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with stop-and-go capability
    Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
    Lane Following Assist (LFA)

    I rented a Kia car when I went out to Newfoundland last summer. It seemed pretty decent. I don't remember what it was.

    Ah, ok. seems you need to be in the high trim versions to get the entire system. Whoever suggested Genesis is probably right, because you'll get it all standard (I assume). They advertise that HDA, along with "machine learning Smart Cruise Control (SCC)".
    Machine learning is an overused phrase.

    I bought my Volvo not knowing it had assist and stumbled across it a few weeks ago between Calgary and Banff when I was playing with buttons - was pretty impressed with how well it did, but going to take my smooth fish brain a while before I trust it

    Kias are the sweet spot with the kimchi cars

    I think the genesis styling is trying too hard.

    Been working with a guy who commutes from Sherwood park to Calgary weekly. So this came up again. He's in an impala, but he says it's a "piece of shit". He can't explain what he means though.

    Any new thoughts in 2022 for highway cars?
    I absolutely loved the Impala I rented about 3 years ago and I'd call it an ideal Highway car.
    Give me his dad's address, please.

    This is all level 2 stuff, so none of it SHOULD be trusted, as it'll just make you complacent. Even tho I had the assist drive to Edmonton without intervention, on another trip there was some newly repaved road where the lines weren't fully painted yet and the system panicked. Don't need to die playing with this shit.

    Definitely a bit nerve wracking the first time I let my V90 navigate a corner on the highway (also first time using the system other than a few straight points). I didn't die (hooray), but I still don't really trust it and probably never will.

    Had a 2010 TL SH-AWD manual that ate up highway miles.

    It was ultra comfy, 305hp, and 8L/100 6th gear cruising. Miss that car

    After driving the NC1 NSX last year to Van, that was one of the most enjoyable drive to BC ever. And I've done that trip in over 20 different cars.

    Comfortable, fast AF, Good AC. great visibility. Decent on gas ...
