A bit off topic but after 3.5 years of touch control I would still prefer controls that you can feel your way to without having to look.
Hands down, no doubt! Most modern cars gets (to me) more and more mediocre "climate control" heating abilities. No reason for that since as soon the engine is warmed up you have almost a free endless supply of preheated coolant @ 88 deg C. The my Mk II Comfort with auto climate is just mediocre and you have to trick it by use defrost etc to get it up to speed. Remember, not all "automatic" settings is carved in stone for just that.
Then top it with a touch screen need you not just feel, then do and set but look, to do your business and peel your eyes away from the important bizniss bodes for.. in fact: more deaths.
My dang old 2002 Mazda6 (with auto climate) is WAY better AND even better in the ole days an old Volvo Amazon, completely manual, could defrost chicken legs, fry and glaze em by the vents (well, almost. The register was more than twice as big as in modern cars) in 15 mins with the heater.
With stop'n go crapola and hybrids you are more or less left to the fairies unless it's equipped with an inverter that is alone way more expensive and complicated and prone to the "big bleh" than an ole well sized register, manual, leeching the coolant heat from the engine.
Surely some things is advancing.. not.
