Is it a drawback or a reliability bonus that the Kia Venga lacks modern tech features?

Kia Venga is one of the cars that lack many of the advanced tech features found in the newer cars such as the Kia Ceed and Kia Sportage. Advance infotainment systems, smartphone integration, and driver assist technologies are part of this. On the one hand, this means the Venga could feel old fashioned next to more contemporary cars, but on the other it may well provide a simpler, more trustworthy driving experience. The fewer complex systems, the fewer things that can go wrong. And the simpler tech could be easier for some users, such as older drivers, to use. On the other hand, it also means to do without safety features and other conveniences that drivers expect nowadays. Does the lack of cutting edge tech make the Venga a more appealing no frills, reliable option, or does it just feel too old school in today’s tech driven world?

I love the simplicity! Less things to go wrong and less distraction while driving. Modern cars with massive touchscreens are smartphone on wheels.

It's definitely a drawback. I want my Apple CarPlay and adaptive cruise control. Stepping back in time is the Venga.

For me, it's a huge plus. I’m sick of cars that seem a decade behind the times. In its simplicity the Venga is timeless.

I'm torn. I find the reliability aspect attractive, but I don’t want to be dependent on something that doesn’t offer greater safety features like automatic emergency braking.

For a non techy person like me, the Venga is easy to use. You don’t have to dig through menus to change the radio station!

Definitely a reliability bonus. My friend's new car is in the shop all the time with electrical gremlins. My old school Venga however, chugs on.

It depends on how long you want to keep the car I think. The Venga is great if you want a long term, low maintenance option. If you like to change cars every couple years, you may feel as though you're missing out.
