My 2016 car is analog where it counts with a few useful digital read outs such as gas milage per trip. It has an amusingly primitive 7” screen that shows what is in back of my car when backing up. It is also the radio/DVD/CD controls. I am so glad it needs an ignition key. I hate using a pushbutton to start a car, that comes with a tiny, easy to lose electronic fob.

BTW check out Scotty (he is very well known) on you tube. He dislikes CVT transmissions. If you have one get the transmission fluid changed at the recommended intervals. Some manufacturers CVTs are better than others. Fewer problems. He also dislikes turbo charging. Buy a car with a naturally aspirated engine

My 2014 Ford Expedition also has a 7” screen. It’s in the dash, not sticking up like a giant billboard on top of the dash. Those giant displays sticking up seem to be a male member race between manufacturers. “Mines bigger than yours.” “Oh, yeah?! Look at this!”

My screen has two columns of five push buttons (real buttons) on each side of the screen. Some have clear words, others some mysterious pictograph. The only ones I really understand are “Media” to select radio or iPhone and “System” to set the clock at DST changes and when we visit Montana east of us a few times per year. The rest of those buttons? Ugh.
