Agreed! I have a 2021 CX-5, and it's not just the infotainment controls (which are great, and work really well with Android Auto), but also just having real buttons — some with indicator lights, even — for all the heating/cooling/demisting controls.

I've rented several other cars in the last couple of years that have been touchscreen only (or, at the very least, very heavily biased towards touchscreens), and the amount of extra time needed to orient where you're pressing is honestly kind of terrifying when you need to, say, demist a windscreen quickly.

The worst I've come across for this was taking the MG4 for a test drive. The whole thing felt like it consisted of programmer art (mismatched, inconsistent, ugly etc). I quickly found the windscreen misting up on a cold evening - and had to stop to figure out enough of the interface to find the correct button.
