Re:VW is putting buttons back in cars

Ioniq 5 is at the top of my list for when we go car shopping, probably late next year. Coming from a pre-touchscreen-era 2011 Mazda, I'm pretty nervous about the UI disaster cars have turned into these days. I wish Mazda would build a good EV, but it sounds like it's not happening any time in the near term.

Oh, it's not so bad that I would not consider buying the car (like we did with VW). Day-to-day it's not a huge deal. If the auto-climate is already set to what you like, then you just hit the clearly-labelled, but-still-capacitive, "climate" button and you're done. And the voice control actually...works; what will they think of next? :-)
But it certainly could be better.
Also consider the EV6, since they're the same platform (very much the same, though have a few UX differences, as I described in another comment)
