1000%

I have a 2020 Mini Cooper, and we took it in for service and got a loaner 2026 Mini, and it has this massive, ugly touchscreen.

Look at these gorgeous physical toggles! And even more overhead! All gone! FFS!

    Wait, they took out the toggles? That is a ton of the personality of the Mini

    Yes, it's now one massive round touchscreen. Takes like 4 different taps just to change the AC temp.

    I hope people start suing over this shit. My 2010 had buttons for rear ac temp up/down. Now I have to find the climate button on the screen, wait for the climate screen to load, find the "rear" button, wait for the rear ac screen to load, BAM head on collision.
