> Though, as an aside, dials for temperature and fan speed are fine, but they also use a dial for changing which vents the air comes out of, which makes no sense. Also, the dials rotate infinitely, even though the ranges are finite. It means I still have to look to see what the setting is at, instead of being able to tell by feel.

Yikes. I know I'm just a nobody on the internet, but if I worked at Honda in any position of power, I would do everything in my power to get the people responsible for rubber-stamping this fired.

This is unacceptable for a modern vehicle.

Regardless of how bad it is, it's a step up from touchscreen interfaces, which means it actually is acceptable by modern vehicle standards.

But I agree that by objective standards, it's unacceptable.
