I’m happy with the way Mazda has integrated CarPlay. No touch while moving, the navigation wheel moves a highlight around the screen to select buttons/links. I find it much less distracting.

Audi is similar. I think also Mercedes. It’s great.

The audi wheel with buttons around it is terrible. I have to look down to find the correct button, and then I need to look at the screen to wheel to the correct option.

Touchscreen is not better than physical buttons but at least I can still look forward while operating it.

This audi is the first time I actually started using Siri - and not because I like it.

On the new mazda3 it’s no touch at all. They took it out completely
