Ok, for some functions you will have to touch the screen if you get the manual.
M5 doesn't have to worry about it as they don't have a manual. If you are cross shopping the CT5 Blackwing automatic with others it's a non issue and if you want a manual you have to decide which is more important, the manual or touching the screen for some items. Seems reasonable for the "enthusiast" and none of the rest will get the manual anyway. I think it would be rare to use the knob to navigate through the screen when I could just touch what I wanted.
Regardless of the model the screen is not the same, and there is a volume knob and a long row of buttons, both limiting how much you touch the screen regardless of the model you pick. I doubt I would use the knob, same reason I don't want a separate mouse or controller when using a tablet. |
I'm fine with the touchscreen personally. Would really only need it for Apple CarPlay. Still have a volume and tuning knob, physical HVAC controls, and all the drive controls are located on the steering wheel. I'm just glad they didn't put all the HVAC controls in the infotainment like so many other brands are.
