+1What drives me nuts is how the lack of a volume knob is such a big deal. Every reviewer comments on this. It's become a hysteria. I swear its a group think phenomenon with these journalist. Just use the steering wheel control. You should have you eyes on the road and hands on the wheel anyway. It is just not a problem for me. What is a problem is no spare tire.
100% Agree. Just wait till those 2019 Civics with those little "Cheap" rotary volume controls (+ push switch) start to mechanically break/become noisy... then the soft-touch controls won't seem to bad after all.
I also cannot see what all the fuss is about with the Climate control. If you can play with all the other Phone/Bluetooth/radio stuff and not complain about it distracting you, the Climate controls are far less distracting by comparison. How often do you really need to go to that screen in any case .. you already have the basic controls available as knobs.
Now, NO SPARE TYRE is an issue... I (and AAA) have little confidence in the foam repair kit. The 1st thing I did when I got the new car home, was to go online and order the spare wheel kit + a decent (Performance) spare tire.
Now - Puncture ==> 10 minutes to change wheel ===> continue on journey (with 100% certainty) ...
