I'm still driving my 2007 Volvo with less than 100k miles and it's perfect. In excellent shape, just did a 2000 mile road trip no problem.

I went to test drive some new cars and HATED all of them. I've driven plenty of cars, some good some bad, but nothing pisses me off like needing an operating manual to adjust HVAC, radio, seats, mirrors etc.

Im holding onto my car as long as i can but I'm concerned about what I'll do when it finally dies. BUTTONS guys, wtf was wrong with tactile buttons?

I agree 100%! I had to use a rental car for work a while back and it basically had a full Android tablet in the dash. It was fun to play with when I first got the car but it was super distracting while I was driving and I found myself getting lost in the menus trying to do simple stuff while I was driving and it just seemed irresponsible for it to be there at all. It was also weird driving at night with a big glowing touch screen beaming at me the whole time
