Listen "OB8: Why touchscreens suck, bring back Volkswagen, and a Mini adventure, in a VW ID.Buzz"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we’re in Scrof’s new long-term test car, which Kitch wants to love but… well, you can guess the rest. It’s a Volkswagen ID.Buzz, and it gives us the perfect reason to ask: what’s happened to VW? Or more specifically, why have the company’s current cars lost the sense of quality and usability that used to be such a hallmark - and will they get it back again?As part of this discussion we explain just why touchscreens and touchpads are such a step backwards. But we also discover Rich has been driving a modern car - and liked it. Which one? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out… (or, y’know, just look at the podcast title. Ahem.)
