Do they have analog dials for speed and RPM?

Not only that, mazda has properly working buttons for infotainment: if you press "nav" or "music" it will bring you back to last one you used. So if I use FM radio and Android Auto maps - buttons leads me where I want them to lead me. So many cars had physical buttons, always lead to built-in apps instead of Android Auto and Car Play.
It boots to CarPlay pretty quickly. Its native controls are pretty utilitarian when they are needed (e.g. to switch to native SiriusXM when cell signal is spotty). I even prefer the look of its maps although I don't use them.
And, get a load of this: they still have actual and intuitive physical buttons for climate controls, defrosters, and driving modes.
Oh, and the car itself is decent as well if you forgive the meh fuel-economy.
