    I think Ford needs a slap.

    I sat in a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost yesterday, really took a long look around. I think they have lost direction or something. There is more buttons in there than a 747 cockpit. I mean seriously there is 20 buttons on the steering wheel alone. Then there is 20 more on the sides of the radio. Not even counting the ones below the radio. WTF! How is anyone supposed to use them while driving. I can't even use the buttons on my 09 F150 wheel without looking at them. The car is bigger and heavier than my '07 and it has less room inside? How is that possible? I know this is an old discussion but it's the first time I took the time to really sit in the car and adjust everything with my wife and kid in there with me. Might just be me but I really don't like the direction Ford is taking with all their cars. Too many buttons and gadgets. All mfg's are doing it but Ford is winning the button/insanely busy interior wars.

    I personally love buttons and gadgets in a car. So while, it may seem to you that they're going in the wrong direction, some people may think they're finally going in the right direction. The 2015 model is my personal favorite so far, interior and exterior.

    Unless it's the original gadget of course.

    Personally I love the way Audi and BMW executes all the functions with a knob instead. I love gadgets but I hate buttons. My car has all those buttons on the screen which makes it look simple until you access a certain menu then it's button city LOL. But I know that Sync is supposed to do most of the work but sometimes you need to repeat it over for it to understand.

    There are so many buttons to help you not be distracted that it's more distracting. You need to have ADHD to operate this car.
