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.
