      I don’t know about that. I love the navigation system from my KIA, in my opinion it’s far superior to google maps. I even can set the destination remotely via the KIA app, so I don’t need to fiddle around once I’m in the car.

        Touch screens break and wear too, and it’s more expensive to replace a touch screen than an AC fan knob.

          Unless it happens during warranty, that costs money to the user not the manufacturer.
