The current generation of Mazda have a very pleasant interface. Controls on the steering wheel are split by function. Left side is audio/comms, right side is cruise and driver MFD controls. Automation overrides (lane departure/awd) controls are on a panel left of the steering wheel only the driver can access. AC/Temp controls are physical, below the touch screen. Their is a jog/cmd dial just behind the shifter that controls the center touchscreen. The entire system can be operated from that dial. The system locks out certain center dash functionality when the car is moving. The colors of all displays are the same, including a heroic effort to match the brightness between the digital and analog displays. The only control oddity to me is the location of sports mode in relation the the parking brake switch. Both are next to the shifter which makes sense, but enabling/disabling sport mode is hard to do by touch. There is voice recognition for the av/nav but I have found it useless.
