[QUOTE="BTW, something else the bugs the hell out of me is the controls on the steering wheel. Do the engineers not understand button separation? It causes a steeper learning curve to make it muscle memory so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Mainly it's the cruise control buttons since I use them the most, but they are all a bit wonky. They need edge lips or something to let you know where you are and maybe some sort of tactile variation so it's easier to learn. I think they just need to redo the steering wheel entirely.[/QUOTE]
I do agree with this, and I should have commented on this in my post comparing the 2018 vs. 2016. it seems like the engineers are heading in the direction of giving us Formula 1 steering wheels. Cram as many multi-function buttons as you can on the wheel, and put the info on the dash for the options to select/change. I don't remember the cruise control specifically, as we rented the 2018 in Hawaii, where using cruise control just wasn't practical, but it does seem like the steering wheel buttons are getting too complicated.
