I like a hybrid, tbh. My car has a sizeable touchscreen that android auto connects to, and I use it a lot for media and navigation.

But things like climate control have physical buttons. Works really well for me and I like the combination approach.

Same with mine. That was something I was looking for when I bought this car actually. I wanted physical buttons and knobs for everything that wasn't infotainment system related. The steering wheel has buttons to control things like volume and tack/station skipping as well. Even having a physical shifter was a necessity for me because these button or weird electronic shifters are a pain in my ass and can potentially be dangerous if you're unfamiliar.
