And that is completely irrational, unnecessary, illogical, dangerous and insane. WHY???Careful what you wish for.
So many vehicles today are going for only buttons in the touchscreen/software.

Yeah, I wasn't at all wishing for touchscreen-only controls, just a safer and more logical layout of the physical heat/AC/defrost controls (preferably using a multi-function knob to replace the temp buttons, with split inner buttons for auto and to cycle vent modes, and then remaining AC/defrost/recirc buttons immediately beside it).Careful what you wish for.

I would just LOVE to have some egghead, divorced-from-reality engineer responsible for those climate controls try to tell me why putting them onto scattered buttons and/or into a touchscreen, instead of the simple, intuitive arrangement of them on knobs that has been used totally successfully in vehicles for literally decades, is somehow "better".Yeah, I wasn't at all wishing for touchscreen-only controls, just a safer and more logical layout of the physical heat/AC/defrost controls (preferably using a multi-function knob to replace the temp buttons, with split inner buttons for auto and to cycle vent modes, and then remaining AC/defrost/recirc buttons immediately beside it).
Having 14 non-tactile HVAC buttons, while wasting 2 rotary knobs for the radio is just asinine and dangerous imo (and 100% touchscreen would be infinitely worse). Drivers should not have to take their eyes off the road to figure out how to turn the temperature up or down.
I think it takes just as long to use the "button" to roll the windows down and although it's in a very logical place (since the doors come off), it isn't intuitive. I don't find having electric windows to be a benefit in any way. I have a two-door though, so I don't have to worry about rear windows. I'd rather have manual windows and locks because I think they are less apt to fail.Why is that? I have the 2020 JLUS no power windows/doors and sometimes I wish they had power so I donāt have to turn around in my seat while going 80mph just to roll them all down.
Not trying to criticize just trying to find a way to see something good about mine having no power..or anything elseā¦
sidenote I was quoted $7,000 to put in the Metalcloak 2.5ā gamechanger lift..
My thinking on power windows and locks is the same as yours, Aces. I have only the manual locks and windows in my 2022 Willys Sport, and purposely wanted it that way (and was happy to find that I could still order a Jeep in 2022 that way!).I think it takes just as long to use the "button" to roll the windows down and although it's in a very logical place (since the doors come off), it isn't intuitive.

One big advantage of manual windows over power windows, at least in my climate, is that it takes VERY little ice to freeze a power window shut, with no good or easy way to de-ice it. Whereas with the manual windows (which I also have on my current 1996 Ram pickup), I find I can almost always just 'jerk' the windows open, as long as they are not too radically frozen up.
That's funny.. my wife drives a Compass too.. 2022 Compass Trailhawk.. and it has adaptive cruise too.. worked nice when we drove up north.. wish my wrangler had it too..Hmm. That's a tough one. A week ago, I would have said I was glad I didn't opt for the Adaptive Cruise Control on the Advanced Safety Group... then I drove my wife's Compass this past weekend with Adaptive Cruise Control. Now, I'm deeply regretting not getting it on my Wrangler. It worked remarkably well.
I think I'm glad I didn't opt for the hard top, but we'll see. I've never owned a soft-top vehicle before. When I blow out a side panel doing 80 on the highway I might retract that statement.
haha +1 !4 doors
We optioned the adaptive cruise when we bought our Durango and Iāll tell you that I wouldnāt want to own a vehicle without it if given the choice.Hmm. That's a tough one.
