good luck figuring out how to turn on your a/c without looking. I loved my old Ford Fusion because it was a touch interface but with raised and lowered plastic so you knew what you were pressing.

the newer fusions replaced controls with actual buttons which looks cheaper and doesn't make it any easier to figure out without looking. probably due to increased failures or simply cost savings

You can use the menu button and scroll wheel on the steering wheel and see the response in the dashboard.

Cool, so it has an IR camera to sense my body temperature?
