I think I agree. I would be fine with an infotainment system that:

  1. doesn’t cripple the car when broken
  2. isn’t integrated with non-screen controls like climate
  3. still has functional buttons on the steering wheel

My malibu meets 2 and 3, but the fact that if the infotainment system breaks it cripples the entire car, puts me on edge. This would be mitigated if actual functionality was outside of it, and that the touch screen was just a control layer.
