You just said the EXACT REASON why I don't want a touch screen. That is SCARY if you are controlling the a/c or heater by a touchscreen.

It likely costs 3000.00 to replace that thing if it fails after your warranty runs out. (This is the EXACT REASON they install those in your car probably.)

We have (4) cars and NONE have a gimmicky touch-screen. My 2008 work truck has manual "roll down" windows too so I DON'T have to worry about power window motors or power locks that break either.
