Part of me is annoyed that I didn't get a Mazda 3 when I got my car back in 2023, I got a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV Hatchback.

I like the Leon, but it has so much touch controls.

The worst is the controls for the fog lights, heated rear window and defrost.

They are all located on a small touch panel to the right of the steering wheel, it is also angled down making it harder to see.

So if I am driving and the windows start to fog up I need to take my eyes off the road and aim my finger to touch the correct button without touching any other controls as I might be blinding other drivers.

It is a terrible design.

The AC and battery management screens are all under different submenus on the infotainment screen.

The rest of the car is great though, and so far i have not seen any ads on the screen.
