After owning a Cross Trek followed by four Foresters I found myself looking for more towing capacity for a new boat.
I bought an Outback Onyx XT.
It is a rocket but...
It has this stupid ass 11.6" multifunction screen.
Almost all the stuff you would previously push a button or turn a knob to operate requires multiple taps on the stupid ass screen.
To do this you must look at the screen, not at the road.
It's like having the distraction of texting.
I told my wife I'm going to tear that stupid ass screen out and put in a push button radio... and a napkin dispenser.
Until now I have avoided having "technology" in my cars.
I know that soon there will be no avoiding it.
Just because you can computerize everything and control it with a touch screen doesn't mean you should!
FWIW... my airplane has engine controls with different shaped handles and knobs.
I only need to feel them and not look at them.
