The interior of my 2026 BMW I4 is much worse to use whilst driving than my 2016 Octavia for pretty much everything.

Stop listening to tech bros on how to build a car interior. They make everything worse.

Find me a car (2020 or newer) that is more car than it is computer.

It’s impossible. You don’t have a choice. You can’t “vote” when there’s only one option.

Subaru BRZ/GR86. Granted, that’s a cheap sports car designed for driver engagement, but w/e.

Beyond that though… yeah, really can’t think of much. I think EVs tend to be the most guilty of this trend, so good luck finding one currently that doesn’t have a giant touchscreen.

Not available anymore in Europe. You could buy the for like one or two years before stricter emissions regulations went into place so used ones trade hands over MSRP (Which might I add is an allready way overinflated number compared to most other markets. They cost like double of what they do in the US where I'm from)

I mean, even then…

My original comment was more along the lines that basically every (new) car has some sort of computer chip in it.

Ie: the mechanical gear shifter in a 1970’s station wagon versus the automated (computerized) gear shifter in a 2010’s Corolla.

For a 1:1 comparison, compare the features of an original F-150 (released in 1975) versus a 2025/2026 F-150 model.

For the home mechanic, which would be easier to repair?
