Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles

I am 99% sure my Clio had it attached to the steering column, so the controls were always in the same place regardless of the steering wheel angle.

I actually found this made them easier to find, as they're always in the same place relative to the rest of you. Controls on the steering wheel by contrast (as found in, e.g., my current car) move as the wheel rotates, and for some reason I can never quite keep track of where they are.

(The Clio also had the horn button on the indicator stalk. The in-car UX was super on point. Good quality stereo, too.)

You're completely right, I remembered wrong, in my first Clio they were below the steering wheel, just like in this picture

Yes, that was the Renault trademark :)

> Good quality stereo, too.

Probably one of the best for the price tag.
