Not OP. But I’ll give my feedback on why I stopped using android auto.
Let me preface this with most everything in the app is fine. Navigating around the interface is maybe a bit janky but not something that I couldn’t get used to.
The main thing that pushed me away from it is the constant crashing (crash every 1-3 minutes). I understand it to be a somewhat rare issue. But through my research I have not found any way to consistently solve the issue despite finding threads that were posted years ago.
The closest I had come to a solution was to clear some app caches (like Google maps) and that would fix it for the next day or two. But it would always eventually go back to constant crashing. It just became too frustrating to deal with.
In what way does it suck? I’ve been happy with it for years, but I also only use it to play music and show a map, so maybe there are things you want to do that I’ve never tried?
Uh, why would I text inside of Android Auto? I’d just pick up my phone and copy/paste the address into Google Maps on the phone while it’s plugged in, like I did last month, and then Google Maps would display it on Android Auto.
Also, please don’t text and drive. Pull over to text.
Because it sucks ass anyway?
No one said any tangible points as to why it sucks and I am happy with it so I am left assuming people who dont like it are just going by vibes…

Yeah, I’ve never had it crash. Sorry your setup is broken somewhere.
It does? I honestly love it and it will be very hard for me to go back
It’s so painful, because it could really be good. But they went out of their way to make it suck…

Why would you look at text messages on your car screen… Especially old ones? Is that something people do often while driving?

That’s good, now I can remain being happy with something I’m happy with. You’re the best!
