I bought a new car last year. When we were researching and narrowing down options, I had a column on my spreadsheet for physical buttons/nobs/etc. It's incredible how many cars now do not have physical implements for things you can easily do while watching the road. So that became a requirement. We needed a minimum amount of physical buttons/etc for vital things like lights, wiper blades, volume, and climate control. But seriously, the amount of cars that don't have those things anymore is quite astounding.
I ended up buying the new Prius. Not perfect, but it has knobs and buttons for everything important you might immediately want to adjust while driving.
