... or the old saying of making lemonade out of a lemon. As I've written before I was upset selling my '07 5 speed GT due to knee issues. I had been saving for a new Mustang that I knew I would need down the road. Unfortunately I could not wait and didn't want a car payment so started looking for A6 Mustangs in the $30k neighborhood. Finding my '14 GT was the best possible thing. As the months pass I realize how much I dislike the NAV screen in my Challenger R/T. Radio, temps, heated seats, almost every function has to be through the **** screen. Even after 2+ years I still am not used to it. If I waited and bought a new Mustang as I planned, I would have had two cars with the screens. What a pleasure to jump in my '14 and just use the dials and ***** as God intended

 

I have rented cars with those screens, and don't like them at all ... .there is nothing worse than pulling out onto the highway in a car you just rented, the windshield suddenly fogs up, and you have to fumble through a bunch of screens and menus to get the defroster to turn on. I thought it might get better with time, but not surprised it has not!

So I'm glad you like the "old fashioned" dashboard in the Mustang, and I think I'd like that lemonaide too!

 

Yup I get you on this one too. My 2017 JGC has likely what is a similar setup to your Challenger. It is infuriating when I want to change something and it takes looking through a few screens to find what use to be on the dash as a single button. Seems like a big safety issue as well.

 

Count me in as well.. I still cannnot figure out how to navigate the touch screen menu on my wife's 2020 Escape... Their nothing but a huge PITA and dangerous when attempting to operate while driving... Needless to say, I'm totally with you guys who prefer their old fashioned, analog dial and button controls anyday

 

The beauty of the Mustang Electronics package is it works both ways and I still love the Dual Temps so the wife stays happy.

 

The dual temps is a plus for sure as my R/T has that, but I let HER work the screen.
For those mentioning safety, I really dislike taking my eyes off the road and I'm actually surprised that the accident rate has not increased drastically over the last 5 years or so. Add the cell phones to the distraction list on top of that. I also would think the insurance rates would be higher with cars with NAV screens. I guess I'm wrong on both counts.
I'll just stick to driving but I should not like driving my 6 year older '14 GT over my '20 R/T. I really like my Dodge but I can't help but think if it was a 'normal' car without the NAV screen and the insane MDS. I think Ford is now the only company that does not have that cylinder deactivation feature, unless the new ones have it. I don't even know.

 

Both of mine, the Mustang with the Electronics package and the F150 with MFT have Dails, ***** and Buttons without having to touch the touch screen
