I commend Mazda for taking the initiative: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20200335

Maybe its just my age but I distinctly remember driver advice/instructions of having no bright lights in the car cabin because it would adversely affect one's vision at night.



I drove a Mazda CX-30 for about 5 months this year, and while YouTube reviewers roast Mazda for not having a touch screens, I found that it was the best system out of any car that I've driven. I've driven cars with touch screens, but there is something so satisfying with being able to do nearly everything from the steering while and physical dials/knobs.

I don't have the CX-30 anymore, but I suspect that my next car will likely be a Mazda (not only for this reason, but it does play a factor).


classic Saab night panel ftw

Also knobs

Saab ftw

rip Saab


FWIW, I had problems with the buttons on my Saabs.

I get the touchscreen hate. But honestly, I prefer them.


Wait, Saabs are still around? They made it to the touchscreen era?


I recently bought a 2003. Removed the aftermarket touchscreen, replaced it with the original audio system and dug out my box of tape cassettes. Here come the warm jets!


Well, I was still using my Saab in the touchscreen era…


Lucky you! I miss those quirky cars.


Born from jets.
