Had a 90s Honda, was awesome. Had a 00s Subaru, was awesome except on fuel consumption and power. Have a late 10s Honda. Is awesome on power and fuel consumption. And has important buttons for the most part. One button for AC unless it's specifically changing parts. Will probably be a plugin hybrid next, depending on when Subaru release one, if ever.
i feel like my cmax is a great middle ground. all the important bits are physical but theres plenty i can do on the screen as well if needed. while id like android auto or apple car play to be able to be controlled from the steering wheel controls or whatever, to make it easier to keep your hands on the wheel, itd need to be wired in and i dont know if automakers would like that. most new cars have all the buttons already so thats not an issue. back, home, select, and four directions is all you need.
I have a 2016 VW Group car, I think its ideal. A useful screen, with 3 knobs for AC, a volume knob, another general knob, and proper buttons to navigate the screen.
