Love my manual but every now and then these make “sensus”

Sorry bad pun

Unrelated: I think I’m partial to the headlight switch being a dial on the dash, instead of a stalk. There’s just too much going on there, imo.

I still can’t get used to the stalk in our Honda after decades of European cars putting them on the dash (and most others following suit). Ironic to see them on the stalk in a Volvo, have they always done it that way?

Maybe it’s a holdover from the Ford days?

I’ve never driven a ford with headlights on the stalk.

I’ve never driven a car that has it on the dash. That would probably annoy the hell out of me.

The last Volvo I owned before these 90s was a 940gle and that also had the headlights on the stalk (and no cupholders!).

It’s auto so I never even touch that stalk. I’m anal about washer fluid so my right hand gets a bigger workout in the car than it does in bed though.

My late-Ford-era Mazdas have the headlights on the stalk. I always assumed that was something they shared with their Ford counterparts. I’ve never actually driven a Ford from the early-2000s though, so maybe it’s just a Mazda/Volvo thing and not a Ford thing.

My FiST has a dial on the dash

Oh shit, I just remembered my old ZX2 had the headlight switch on a stalk.

My SVT Focus had the switch on the dash, I think that was about the time they switched. I know the first gen of Transit Connects have the same switch. So do 2nd gen Escapes.

Really? I’d venture that the majority of modern cars have them on the dash. Kinja needs a polling functionality....

With automatic headlights they should be as non-invasive as possible.

Which one is less invasive, though? I say dashboard.

Definitely dashboard
