Much rather use a dial.
The Mazda one has been ok, the MZD system is a bit slow with the Bluetooth initially but once synced speeds up. Voice recognition is fine, seems to adapt to me ok. Using Android Auto, mixed results, they did a major update on it a few months back and it really went backwards. But then i have also noted it depends on the app too. Spotify is horrendous but google maps or Waze seem to be very good.
In all though, I rarely use the controls (except volume and cruise control). The rest is all voice control.
