But it wasn't just that. It was also that all the heater controls were

Time was was cars had sliders etc for climate control. One could
operate all those without looking at them.

If it is a decent climate control system, no need to adjust it? Apart from
to say defrost on first start on a cold day?

And sliders ain't the best way to set the temperature on climate control.
Toggling a display to the required temperature is best. Which is probably
why I've only seen slide controls on older basic heaters.


How about if you feet are cold or you want cold air to your face? Would
you want to go through touch screen options for those. That?s the level of
stupidity that some manufacturers have achieved.

Well yes and no. Having climate control means you dont need to adjust it
- it's just OK as is.

Then you've never really lived in the real world.

Does your climate control know when your feet are cold from having
got them wet? Does your climate control know when you're tiring
on a long journey and want a bit of fresh air in your
face?


yes it does.
you just kock it up degree or down a degree,

Obviously you have never driven a luxury car
