Yea agree so much with this. I just want a car with physical knobs and buttons bluetooth to connect to my phone's audio. Have to buy ~10 year old cars to get this.

My Subaru has physical knobs AND the benefits of CarPlay. This is not a mutually exclusive issue. And both work great together.

Yea some do have this, just not common anymore. e.g. I want a GTI, but I really hate the lack of buttons. Even the steering wheel controls aren't physical buttons anymore.

My 2023 Elantra has both google/apple support and physical knobs on both the console and steering wheel.

I can do most things without interacting with the touch screen at all.

Physical knobs and these systems def. do exist.
