One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cadillac+cue/">Cadillac's CUE</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/chrysler+uconnect/">Chrysler's UConnect</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+idrive/">BMW's iDrive</a> or <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/myford+touch/">MyFord Touch</a>, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.<br />
<br />
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/consumer+reports/"><em>Consumer Reports</em></a> claiming that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ford/">Ford</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/lincoln/">Lincoln</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/cadillac/">Cadillac</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the <em>Autoblog</em> staff.<br />
