Iām driving rental MB C-class this week (after 4months of Hyundai Kona EV) and holy smokes it is obnoxious. No bugs per se, but touch-everything is horrible. Tons of warnings, panic breaking, limp mode. Top it with horrible throttle response and this thing reeks of legacy. Sure ride quality and steering is good, but I can see now how people hate touch interfaces.

I had a rental MB a few months ago and while the build quality and ride were excellent, it remains by a very wide margin the absolute worst car I have ever driven. There were dozens of buttons and knobs and touchpads (so many touchpads!) in the cabin, none of them with any meaningful information about how they are used, much less an obvious use. The interior was utterly barren of visual contrast, so I couldn't discern important information even when it wasn't shouldered out of place by the implacable clutter. It was a car for a hoarder with means. I'm also not exaggerating for effect: I hated it, and I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff I was supposed to operate.
