    I appreciate my 12 yr old car for this reason. Also, physical buttons I can hit without taking my eyes off the road

      My 2021 Seat Leon has this idiotic panel on the semi underside of the dash on the left side of the steering wheel.

      It controls the headlight modes, fog lights, and, most annoyingly, front and rear de-mist, all controlled by touch buttons.

      So if you are driving and the windows are fogging up for some reason, you need to take your eyes off the road and carefully touch only the two buttons for de-misting.

      I counter the privacy crap with a constant stream of podcasts when I drive…

      2012 prius-c, physical air-conditioning temp knob, physical buttons for everything. Added CarPlay receiver, and it’s the perfect vehicle. No electronic “syncing” to be done. Just works.

      My 2004 was the newest car I’d had when I bought it in 2018. I don’t plan on ever buying anything newer.

      Yeah I’ve always believed in tactile feedback for driving safety. Which is why I love my Jeep Wrangler without the fancy features. Analog dash, keyed ignition, manual locks, windows, seats. Dials, knobs, handshift. I only have the backup camera since it became required lol
