I’ve got a 2016 Honda, and although the infotainment system is noticeably showing it’s age, you can do any of the functions using either the touchscreen, or the buttons around the edge. My only complaint is that you can only do things like typing in a destination or connecting a phone if the vehicle is stopped. It would be nice if that feature was disabled when a passenger was in the front seat, since they can safely operate the controls independently from the driver.
Also, only the Audio and navigation are in the infotainment system, still have physical controls for climate. It’s in the Goldilocks zone of automotive infotainment technology.
I ended up purchasing a '22 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport for my teenager for those reasons. The infotainment center was “dated” according to the reviews. Lots of buttons for most things and a basic touchscreen that ran auto/carplay.
