what car can you operate so?

i ask because i had a SAAB 900 model from the early 80s, used, and it was like that. never needed to look away from the road...and it's been gone for 35 years now but oh how i miss its design.

It's not something very young. An 2001 Ford Focus MK-I. However, I recently drove a Ford Puma Hybrid, and that had the same DNA. Great dashboard despite being LCD, good controls, on-wheel cruise and limiter, etc. I can do most of the things without looking away from the road.

While I use Apple CarPlay most of the time, it's navigation was good, even. With good directions and readable, clear maps.

For all the cars I have rented in the last 2-3 years, Ford still has that DNA the best.
