MODERATORS
To be clear, for consumers (of said vehicles), that was actually a negative when they got caught, not while it was happening. The cars were inferior after the software update, because the performance and fuel efficiency balance they offered was never going to be possible with sufficient EGR to reduce NOx to what it needed to be. Many have reported drivability or reliability issues with the updated software unfortunately.
Of course literally everyone else benefited from the fix because air is cleaner now.
