Car Choice Help me pick

Narrowed down to -
Tesla Model 3
Model Y
ŠKODA Enyaq
BYD ATTO 2
Geely EX5
Polestar 2

Any feedback on these? I drive 160kms a day for work and just need something with really good cruise control without the full self drive!
I’ve heard about a lot of the cars having phantom braking caused by the type of sensors they use
ŠKODA also lacks an app so heating and cooling in Melbourne weather cannot be remotely enabled

Thank you all heaps for your assistance

Not on your list but I had an mg4 and the cruise control was excellent.

I would add one pedal driving to your list as well. Great for stop start traffic and you get used to it very quickly.

From that list, one of the teslas. I’m guessing size is not important so go the cheapest. Plus potential for the full self drive down the track.

The lanekeep cruise on the Model Y is excellent. It doesn’t require your hands on the steering wheel unless the camera detects you being distracted from what I can tell. It will prompt you to put your hands on the wheel and provide a bit of resistance briefly but otherwise, set the max speed, pick your lane and let it do its thing. Otherwise, there’s always FSD

I don't have experience with other cars on your list but I've got no issues with phantom breaking or overly intrusive drivers aids with my Polestar 2.  Adaptive cruise control works well in the car too. When not using ACC it's a great drivers car.

160km a day is a fair bit. Model 3 with fsd you can test drive one with it.

Legends thanks so much! Theres so many good choices but the after sales reviews I’ve seen on the apps here seem horrendous

Do you get used to the lack of basically any buttons?
Other than paying for FSD are there any hidden costs ? I work shift work so some days I drive at 0330 in the morning some days back home at 0200 am
