I'm waiting for a good PEV from Mazda. They announced a policy of no touch screens.

So here's the thing - there is nothing wrong with touchscreens.

But they have to be used appropriately.

A touchscreen for wiper control, or to turn on defrost, or to flash your headlights at another car is NOT appropriate.

A touchscreen for a nav display, or to set infrequently used preferences is very appropriate.

I leased a 2020 Mazda 3 precisely for this reason... I want tactile feedback from my car's controls so I can keep my eyes on the road.
