I don't know who the hell thought that a touch screen only system was reasonable for a motor vehicle, but they can go get fucked.
It feels like San Francisco's fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it's cheap to manufacture and people think it's trendy.
I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.
I just rolled over 100k miles last week on my CVT. If CVTs are dying young, it isn't a problem with the CVT, it's a problem with the manufacturer.
