Mazda has knobs and buttons that can even control carplay


Same with Toyota (fun fact—I discovered earlier this year, over three years that I bought my Prius, that there were whole displays in the dashboard I didn’t know existed while trying to adjust the volume from the steering wheel while I was backing out of my garage, but because the wheel was rotated 180°, I hit the wrong button. Turns out the navigation between different info displays is 2-dimensional and the ↑/↓ gives additional views into some of the information that I had no idea existed, as well as revealing some functionality I didn’t know was there for the HVAC).


I believe even they dropped it in the latest cars, unfortunately


Yeah, the latest CX-5 and 6e went all in Tesla screen derangement and folks don't love it.
