Cars in recent years have come equipped with larger, more feauture-packed touchscreen infotainment systems. But are they really better than simple buttons?

I really do miss the days of simpler cars. Not a huge fan of touch screens

On my car I can change any setting without taking my eyes off the road or even looking at the controls. On my wife's car I have to look at the screen to see what I am trying to do. I definitely prefer tactile controls.
