My daily is a Mk7.5 '19 Golf R, the wife's car is a '22 GLI. Her car has the shitty haptic controls on the steering wheel, mine has proper old-school buttons/rockers.

Overblown? I disagree. I've got at least 20k miles of seat time in her car and I curse at those damn things every time I drive it, to this day. Enough customers complained that VW is backtracking and going back to the old way...

They still have eliminated too many other physical controls for my taste. Climate controls, heated seats, etc., via touchscreen is a non-starter for me.
