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

My previous reply stands.

Try engaging your brain before replying.

Yes, he's talking crap again. My car has touch screen, but also real
buttons for the most common things. And voice control for quite a lot.
