I just took my '91 Mazda off the road (undercarriage rust) and bought a '24 Subaru Crosstrek with an 11" touchscreen that I did not want. The best feature? You can turn it off and it stays off, every time you use the car.

If you put the heat/AC into auto, there are physical buttons to raise and lower the temperature. The screen flashes on for a second to display the temperature change. There are also physical buttons on the steering wheel to skip through the radio stations (which display between the tach and speedometer) and adjust the volume.

Perfect. I'm so glad not to have to leave that screen on.
