    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.
