2019 is the last year that manual climate control was available. And with an ES, it comes standard with cruise control, power windows, and probably the same touch screen as mine, which I think is better than decent. The automatic climate control is just stupid logic and annoying.

I worked at the Hyundai plant 'up in the Gump' for many years. Part of my responsibility was the TFT Team Leader for "Design & Controls." Which covered everything a person could put their fingers on from the driver's seat. We investigated tons of competitors. The automatic climate control, while it gets the job done, would have had the lowest ratings of all the hvacs I ever investigated. While the manual climate control would have been near the top.
