- Keyframe 7y agoOld Panamera and new Panamera. Disgusting and disorienting touch controls. I honestly can’t tell why would anyone prefer touch controls. I also can’t honestly tell how is Tesla’s screen street legal.
- sundvor 7y agoI had a top model Mazda 3 2014 before (manual Astina) as the #2 and everything about it was just first class usability wise. The rotary navigation knob let me do everything on the screen, and all the buttons for everything else were in intuitive places. Also a great radar cruise control, simple yet highly functional HUD, and things like rear cross alert which is amazing when backing out of 45 degree parking spots next to some big trucks. As much as I'd love a Tesla as my next car I'm not sure if their UI is where I want to go. Presently riding to save my health, and money.
