I've read the other reviews so I won't rehash all of that, but I would say that I am older now and don't see small things well and I have no problems with seeing the buttons on this unit. I also find them large and sturdy enough. The volume control is the only one that could have been made easier to hold on to. The interface itself is incredibly easy to use and understand. I really don't know how much more intuitive it could be. Unless you haven't used a car stereo since the 60's you shouldn't have any problems. I didn't use the manual and I was able to figure out everything I tried to do by just looking and trying. (There are even pictures to guide you!)
I tend to use the remote a lot more that I would have ever thought (especially for volume control). It is so well laid out that by the second time I used it I could use it in the dark completely by touch.
As far as a comment about the USB: mine gives me all the information. It reads me the directory name, the track name, the artist name, etc.
The HD radio is great and the metadata provided by it is excellent.
Cons:
AM doesn't sound great, but I rarely listen to it so it's not an issue for me.
BT doesn't turn off with ignition.
Display resets when unit is turned off or function is changed.
No output for sub-woofer, but this unit isn't strong enough to effectively drive a sub-woofer so a separate amp would be required and in that case you'd probably be looking at more expensive stereos anyway.
It would be nice to get a continual scroll of all the metadata for what you are listening to rather than have to change the display for each bit of information.
The display is too bright without any means for dimming it.
I listed the cons I could think of because other than those things I love this unit for the price. It sounds good and everything works as advertised.
