Your experience with the Honda Civic is largely because of poor UX. You can make thoughtful touchscreen designs and combine them with physical buttons for a great user experience.

Pinching to zoom and using your finger to drag a map around to get sense of the terrain in an unknown area is fantastic. Using a touchscreen to reduce volume is stupid. Etc. Etc.

I specifically avoided Honda/Toyota/Mazda because I didn't like the UX of their touch screens.

People seem okay to Tesla's implementations as well because they also have a very responsive system.

Don't forget that you can have crappy UX with physical controls as well.
