My 9-year-old Subaru has physical buttons. The car still ignores them when it’s busy “thinking”, like leaving the sound blasting at whatever volume setting it was on previously, but now with a different song, and there is nothing I can do to shut it the hell up for like a minute or two while it finishes booting up the OS.
Pro-Tip: “Physical buttons” don’t have to mean a damn thing.:-(
Edit: I do like the tactile feel of them though.:-)
That’s one of my 3 complaints about my wife’s 2018 Subaru:
It takes over a full second to shift into drive.
The clock shows you the date but not the time when you start the car. You know, the one time I literally always look for the clock to see if I left on time? Yeah. No clock. (Seriously, what the what? Why?)
You can’t turn off the radio when the car is starting. (For a while I thought it was while reversing, but I think that’s just because it’s the first thing I do every time I turn in the car after my radio-listening wife has parked.)
Other than those three problems, it’s a great car.
It has physical buttons in the steering wheel for most functions, so this article isn’t very relevant. Sure, you can’t adjust your front-back speaker volume while driving, but you shouldn’t be doing anything that involved while driving anyway.
Absolutely. Overall the Subarus are the best designed car I’ve seen - I would change those few things, but it’s a small list and they are very minor.:-)
