Maybe, but look on the bright side, you could have as many as you wanted then!
Mind you that might cause budget issues.
Coupes because stunning!

As others have said,I wouldn't let non nav spec put you off completely....
But I personally like my Satnav specified car.
Yes ,it's dated,but the pro nav option is still better to use,and more reliable at getting you to unknown destinations than a 2017,standard nav unit in a Audi/VW car(Speaking from experience).
It also is better at avoiding traffic jams/announcing traffic hold ups or ques than aforementioned Audi/VW units, which wait until you are in the middle of said traffic jam or road works, before telling you,lol
So while the screen graphics are dated, functions are good,imo.
Anyway,this looks like a decent car.

Update the satnav and add speed camera warnings and it's a very good tool, saved me from many speed cameras on a 5000 miles European roadtrip. It literally warned me of every single speed camera in France, Spain and Portugal.
If you don't want to use it and it bothers you that the screen pops up every time you change track, adjust the screen angle on open position so that it is permanently closed.
Don't think it makes the dash look any better or worse.

Nice to be able to change the DSP if you have it, like to have the car information and useful for bluetooth phone.
I think it looks cool too, love how it comes out of the dash.
