Of course this is just my opinion.
Sure but when you've got dual zone climate control, auto headlights, etc then something as simple as steering controls should be a given.

Do they expect you to take your eyes off the road while drifting through the mountain passes?

We have the High and Low spec options. So high spec should be everything and Low spec the back to basics.

But lets not get started on with the simple things that are missed in our cars.

I'm not missing much except but steering controls.

They had some silly excuse "steering wheel clutter" or something like that, but then why couldn't it be a stalk like the cruise control controls?

That sounds fair enough. I guess as long as they're "options" then it's a win-win

I'm so glad that my car doesn't have steering controls.
Hate 'em.
Guess that's my age showing...
