I can respect that standpoint. No plugs for Corollas here as I think there could be a better commuter car, but I think they are better than you suspect. I'm kind of like a hybrid of a football player / trucker / Shrek all in one. Thrown in some Neanderthal too ... gotta be honest. And I find my Corolla very comfortable. The new ones are even better. Mine has bad wind noise, but that's all. I did ride in a automatic same year as mine and it felt so puny and sounded kind of like a turd.
It's funny because its definitely not a "make or break" feature, but very "cool" None the less.
The last time I was at Lexus, while awaiting the valet to pull up my car after the recall service was done, I wandered over and took a look at a 2015 GX, and to my surprise, two things:
Perhaps I'm just that out of the car loop, but I didn't realize they wanted nearly 100k for that thing!
2nd: I was surprised that the flagship suv didn't have that feature. Perhaps it's not neccessaey on an suv, but I was still a bit surprised by that fact.
Another thing, per Tee's advice, I put a movie into the player and listened to it on the Levinson...I was nearly shocked at how the system transformed it's ability to produce sound at a home theater quality.
Quite impressive.
