    One of the reasons that my last vehicle purchase was a Honda is because they have kept the climate control buttons and the volume knob for the radio. I decided against a few brands because they had those things into a shitty touchscreen.

    Now if they could just get a more responsive touchscreen model I would be even happier!

      The fact you have to watch out for a physical volume knob nowadays is wild. Imo the shitty implementation winner is by far Renault with the ZE50 EV. Its radio has a permanent volume touch button, which opens a new view with touch buttons for volume up and down.

      Whichever Renault engineer or executive thought that this was a good idea in any way, shape or form deserves many punches to the face. Apparently later models now have permanent touch buttons for volume up and down, which I guess is at least slightly better (although still horribly inferior to a knob).

      It’s worth noting that there are steering wheel volume buttons for the driver, but it’s still horrible and sucks for passengers.
