I just got stuck driving a new BMW X1 for a couple of days. Actually love the way it drives.. good power for a small SUV. The steering is fabulous.
What I don't like.. and what's becoming more common is every new car is the huge digital display. Every interaction you have with the vehicle is on the touch screen. Not a single button in sight other than the goofy little selector switch for P/R/N/D.
I've come to realize that I LIKE buttons in my cars. I don't want to go into a menu just to turn on the rear window defrost. And also.. I think it's dangerous. You can do everything on that screen while you're driving except stream Netflix (and maybe you can do that too..).
Give me back my buttons and switches.. and get off my lawn.
