Yep. And mazda has physical climate button/knobs, with a physical dial to control the infotainment (it's pretty convenient, if a bit of an older design on most of their vehicles).

I consider it space-age. I haven't driven a non-Mazda that seemed as well thought out and functional. I wish I could rip one out and put it on my non-Mazda car. I breath a sigh of relief that my partner didn't buy the Honda with a long finicky touchstrip to control the volume instead of a knob.

Which Honda had the touchstrip instead of a knob?

I don't doubt one might exist, just haven't run into one yet.

Its been a few years, but I think it was a Honda Fit.

Same as BMW iDrive. I'm sure some are touch screen, but you don't have to use it.

Mazda is a physical dial by default, but if you want to you can go into the settings and enable the touch screen. Best of both worlds.
