Talk about moving the goalposts. The statement "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" means that said item is broken. Meaning it works so very little as to be inconsequential or not at all. This is not the same as change or improvement, hence my argument. Although change for the sake of change is nearly pointless, assuming that the designers and engineers of a multi-billion dollar product for a multi-billion dollar corporation are idiots for changing the volume control is a bit overwrought here. I believe they sincerely did it as an improvement and not simply to ruin everyone's experience of owning their Honda Civic. Personally, I like the new steering wheel volume control and don't really care where the knob went.That's such a weak argument. There's a long list of reasons cars were better than horses. On the other hand, this thread has only produced one single reason the touch buttons on the headunit are better than a knob, and it was a really minor one (a minuscule cost savings). You're basically arguing that we should be happy with changes that bring nothing but disadvantages.
I'd like to also point out that other car manufacturers got to the point of removing physical volume controls before Honda did. Would anyone on this forum like to chime in with their experience on owning a Tesla product, or a Porsche with the touchscreen HUD, or any of the other cars with no volume knob?
