In my old car i also had to look at the controls to adjust most things. Physical controls are admittedly easier to hit but apart from that, the difference isn't that huge. Plus, my old car (although was a pretty simple model) still had far too many buttons and there were quite a few where I never figured out what they're for.

    I have to disagree. My cars with all physical controls are easier to use because I can locate a button or knob with physical memory, and its tactile feedback tells me if I’m on target or not. If I miss a physical button by a centimetre or so, I can easily move my hand to get the right position.

    I can’t do that on a touchscreen. If my positioning is wrong when using a touchscreen, who knows what I’m pressing. I have to look over to resolve.

    I saw a picture of the new Mazda 5 interior with a massive screen and no physical controls. I hope it was a fake picture. If not, that’s an absolute no thanks for me.
