I wonder the year of its touchscreen. 5 years old car? Almost brand new. 5 years old touchscreen and software? It's going to be painful.

I have a 2017 Civic, and based on the info in the OP, it's the same as the 2021 models, and yes, it's severely dated.

Though it's Android 4.4, which gives me some nostalgia from my Nexus 4 and the Holo era of Android

    Awww nostalgia hits... some very very long time ago I was working on software tested on KitKat. It's better not to mention it during interviews otherwise will be dismissed as a dinosaur.

      I have it on my 2020 civic and at least it doesn't lag. Problem with newer builds is the inevitable creep of increased CPU and memory usage until eventually perfectly good hardware is no longer able to run anything.

    Nexus 4 was a great phone. Honestly I don't remember it being particularly slower than my more recent phones, since most of what I do is browse the web, listen to music, and watch YouTube videos.

    I bet on today's web it would feel quite slow though, because everything is terrible.

      I still have my Nexus 4 as a backup device, now running whatever the latest version of Lineage is offered for it (15.1, based on Android 8).

      Still works okay, a little slow, and the battery only lasts a couple hours. A great phone back in its day.

Probably a resistive type like on really old tablets running Android 4!
