Reason why I love my Subaru is that it still has buttons for almost everything, yet still has Android Auto.

This is why I chose Mazda. No touch screen at all, just a display for Android auto.

Not the new ones. They're all touch screen and it's soooo slow to start up and do anything, including HVAC and heated seats. My friend's new Outback has it and it's not good.

I have a '22 Crosstrek and most options are buttons with a large screen I use with Android Auto. I would hate HVAC and heated seats integrates into the screen because I love mine being buttons, switches, and dials. Plus, I can control most of the screen features from my steering wheel.
