1) I’m pretty sure designers add door handles to their designs, its not that big of a nuisance. Your entire comment seems to based in this idea that they are some burden but their not. A handle on a door is such a fundamental feature of the human world for so many centuries. Basically no one is on the edge of the seat…

oh my god this isn’t a joke?

Wow, I wonder if there was anything VW could have done to make the Passat sell better in the US (ehm, MQB platform, better engines which VW has in spades, bringing back the longer warranty, etc.). And no, the Arteon is not a worthy replacement in this segment. Its too expensive and very fuel inefficient AND doesn’t…

They should bring the Euro passat here, plain and simple. Its the only way any passat can compete with the Accord, Malibu, Camry, and Altima.

Not even the Tesla screen is “super difficult” in the grand scheme of things, but these things are relative. Making the climate control functions in this car adds a layer of difficulty and distraction that should not be tolerated in a motor vehicle, which is a dangerous machine.

Two huge complaints with this car and VW in general:

Side note, this issue of the dump truck being in its upright position highlights how void of basic modern safety equipment Trucks have. Like cars will scream at you for not having a seatbelt on, but holy shit nothing on your damp truck tells you when the bucket is up?

I love the forte GT too, but a GLI would run circles around it. The kia can’t match the LSD and 260lbft combo.

Its difficult because the touch buttons need to be looked at. Its all relative of course.

Also, note the touch-sensitive climate control buttons below the vents, seems super difficult to use.

What fuckin wagon? I want to agree with you but they’re even more gone than the minivans. The cheapest new one in my area is a 52k A4 allroad.

If VW is doing so well, can they bring us back the golf and sportwagen? Maybe the id3? And give those cars physical climate controls? You know, all these things they are doing supposedly because they can’t afford to?

Wait so does this mean the Rimac Nevera would leave a 2011 F1 car in the dust?

I swear to fucking god if Mazda puts in touch screen A/C controls in their EV’s I will flip a fucking shit and will pray to god for their demise.

Some people can’t escape the political crap. In fact, none of us really can. You can ignore it like a child though.

6/4/21

The fact that Mazda of all companies threw touchscreen climate controls in this car is utterly mindboggling and needs to be called it out with absolute impunity by the car community and car journalists. Why, WHY after spending so much money and time on designing the least distracting interiors in the industry…

I am required to use premium on my mk6 gti. Every other car in our extended family, we use regular. We have several Audis and Acura’s that recommend premium but allow for regular, so we use that. In our area, premium is up to 20% pricier, and none of these cars have had engine problems. People who bitch about using…

5.9 inches is still large, much more so than the Iphone12 mini and SE and noticeably more than my S10e. Screen size matters cause it determines how far I have to stretch my thumb and hand to use, how much I have to shuffle my phone around to use with one hand.

most cars have auto HVAC. That’s not an excuse. I should be able to adjust the climate super easily whenever I want. It was a non issue for 50 years, so why is that being taken away now? Also, even with automatic climate, touchscreens are still annoying.
