Same, I've got an Opel Corsa from 2016, so it's pretty much brand new.

The only things in the wheel are the speed control, wipers, and default lights.

For everything else required for driving, such as fog lights, emergency lights, front and back Window heating, AC, radio, and of course the shift stick, I'll need to remove a hand from the wheel.

Luckily for me, the Touchscreen in the middle only handles less important things like navigation and external music sources.

Wait, you don't even get radio volume, next track etc on the wheel?

Oh right, I do actually have track, volume, and "take call" on the wheel. I think I did use them once, but it just never stuck since they felt awkward to use.
