This is why I think I'll stick with Subaru for a while yet. The important knobs are still manual! Heat, volume, etc. I don't want to be fiddling with a touch screen while driving down the freeway.
Had a 90s Honda, was awesome. Had a 00s Subaru, was awesome except on fuel consumption and power. Have a late 10s Honda. Is awesome on power and fuel consumption. And has important buttons for the most part. One button for AC unless it's specifically changing parts. Will probably be a plugin hybrid next, depending on when Subaru release one, if ever.
I have a 2016 VW Group car, I think its ideal. A useful screen, with 3 knobs for AC, a volume knob, another general knob, and proper buttons to navigate the screen.
What's sad, transitioning from hardware knobs did no service to the drivers. Except the price but that has been going upwards, too.
