Annoying british lady...
my one gripe with the nav... the voice is really annoying. middle aged lady with a slight British accent (what it sounds like).... who thought that's a good idea?

Yeah I was upset when I heard my navi's voice too.:\ sometimes she sounds like she is yelling at me to turn right/left.
I would prefer the more mechanical sounding voice the acura has but o well! our C>acura anyways in my opinion

How about a Thai tart - should sound good
"You now enter Patpong street - many beautiful lady & man too - you want man, ladyboy?"
No offence to the Thais - my favourite country & people on the planet - all in jest.

I was going back and forth between the C300, A4 and TSX. The TSX interior was just way too busy for me while the vaunted Audi interior was similar...pretty but in a busy, overwrought kinda way...

Our interior is a lot more neat and smooth IMO. at least our buttons are about the right amount and more or less at the right place. Im not a huge fan of chromes, but the interior chrome trims actually give an elegant accent. oh, plus we even have ceramic coated buttons..
my friend said the lady in the gps sounded like a librarian.. but at least she's sometimes polite i guess..

I like the Audi design but would never trust their reliability after a pair of problematic A4's.
If I had to shop for a sporty sedan again, it would be the C350 vs the 335d.

But back to the OP topic.... my passengers have commented on how terse the announcements are. Maybe it's a German exactness thing that us gentle Canadians don't understand.
Not only does the Acura system have a more soothing female voice, it also has an option to switch to a male voice. I've always said that the Acura system is more customizable than COMAND.

it should be customizable... is there a way to shut the voice guidance off?
I would do that, so the lady doesn't interrupt my music...

We don't when we are in America. Except people from Minnesota, the Dakotas, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Chicago, West side of Cleveland, West Virginia, Tennesse, Arkansas and Texas.
