Swiping to change volume is way better than button pounding.

It is, but it's worse than having a physical scroll wheel with nice tactile steps, like even my Fabia has.

The capacitive temperature and volume controls under the screen work just fine, too. Now they do need to be illuminated, which they will be in the 2024 model, but it's great to swipe to the temp or volume you want.

Again, not as good as a dial that you can feel and don't need to take your eyes off the road to operate.

Plus the whole driving with gloves issue.
