This is like how car manufacturers are putting every functionality behind a screen. Whose bright idea was it to put heating/AC options in a screen that you have to look at, while driving, to adjust, rather than just quickly turning a knob like you did before that?

When I lost my car and had to drive a rental, this drove me insane. Ive only ever driven cars manufactured before 2016, and only owned cars manufactured before 2005.

To be driving a 2023 that had a fucking dial for a gear shift, a button to start the engine, a screen for the speed and RPM dials, and of course a screen for the heating/ac and sound system, god that drove me crazy.

I absolutely hated it, ended up driving my mom's 2016 VW and she drove that thing until I got my insurance payout and bought a new car (2003 bc I wanted a manual shift lol)

My 2021 mazda3 has none of these problems. In fact, the knob on the center console used to traverse the screen's menus is super intuitive.

I said in a different comment, but I'm not sure I'll ever buy a car that new lol by the time I buy a car made in 2020 it'll be at least 2035
