One thing to bear in mind even with new ICE vehicles is
too many touchscreen controls. My wife drives a brand new
hybrid and i drive it on long motorway journey's as my
car is a 2 door, and her's is easier to get our dog in
the back seat. All the windscreen wiper/washer contols
are on the single indicator stalk which is fiddly, and
even the A/C contols are touchscreen, so to alter the
temp, blower speed and windcreen/cabin/footwell direction
you have to take your eyes off the road. Even as a
passenger i find it difficult to use when the car is in
motion. So i would recommend a test drive of any car
before you buy J.B.
Of course you might like using a touchscreen with so many
features, my wife does, but i personally prefer tactile
buttons and dials that i can press and turn without
taking my eyes off the road!
