So agree about the touch-screen “revolution”. Very pretty and all that but downright useless. Do manufacturers NEVER put ordinary unbiased people in front of their new devices and say, “Use this and see if it works.” We’d be back with proper switches, levers and buttons if they did.
The touch screen function is just about the only thing which I would like removed completely from my Mini. It don’t work! Hitting the exact spot without taking attention off the road is impossible; and it takes about three pokes to make it work. Moreover, has anyone told the makers than some drivers wear gloves? Touch screens do not work if you do sport these old fashioned driving aids!
