With the new outback, it's whack how it takes around 5 seconds of staring at the touchscreen to accomplish acts like turning off the heated seats. In most cars you don't have to take your eyes off the road to do that
Really? My 2020 Outback 3.6 has dedicated buttons for driver's and passenger's heated seats. They are four stage, depending on how hot I want my bot.
Maybe different trim levels move more things to physical buttons than touch screens?
Maybe? This article shows how they're setup on the outback I've driven (maybe if the bigger screen depends on trim level it's only on those ones?)
