Bmw has the best in business, they left climate, track, volume controls as separate physical buttons and their console is incredibly quick to respond and feels fluid like a phone. New Audi’s really made a bad decision to use two screens without physical buttons, both of the screens are little laggy too.

- neogodless 7y ago2015 Mazda 3 here. Has touchscreen but I usually forget that, and never use it. Dial is nice, like BMW. But... Laggy, buggy computer. So bad. Fortunately Mazda seems to be listening. 2019 loses the touch panel entirely and relies fully on knob and buttons! In videos, the screen looks super responsive. So at least not all hope is lost with every manufacturer...
- ahartmetz 7y agoBMW uses the Qt GUI framework in its center console AFAIK. Ford Sync 3 does, too. Those are some of the better and more responsive car GUIs. Disclaimer: I offer Qt services. And... I actually prefer cars without any screens for my own use.
- usaphp 7y agoScreens are important in cars, for backup camera, bird view camera (incredibly useful), for everything else I use the head up display, I still don’t understand how more companies don’t adopt it, I can’t drive without it anymore, incredibly useful and does not take eyes off the road
