I have a pre-touchscreen era (for its model anyway) 2012 car. I'm hoping by the time I have to get a new car this touchscreen fad will have come and gone. How are you supposed to use those things in the winter when you have gloves on?

Most newer touch panels work pretty well with gloves but they do make gloves that are compatible with touch panels.

There's a happy medium. I have a slightly newer VW GTI (2017) with a touchscreen but there are still buttons and dials for basically everything. It's a perfect infotainment system if you ask me :)
