i love the idrive! i dont think i can live with all the buttons on the dash. it's such a great feature that other companies such as audi and mercedes are starting to have it in their cars.

I like iDrive albeit it's quirky at times. However from what I heard is that Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, etc. are all way ahead and way better in that department. Never really used it but the even the navigation in my friend's accord is way easier to use and doesn't bug out ever.

I am ambivalent. I rarely use it, and when I do it is only to rid myself of the wife's choice in SAT stations. As a pilot, i am used to pushing buttons, throwing switches, and real old school, reading gauges. Neither Porsche has a system similar to idrive, and I seem to get along ok without it there as well. I still think the future is a touch screen.

touch? would you rather have a touch screen computer too, instead of a mouse? it sounds cool, but is not as practical as a mouse.
