Total lack of physical buttons is what I don't like as well.  I suppose I don't really mind a screen if there are buttons for important things.  But even for things like changing the radio volume or what's playing on the radio, it can be good to have physical buttons so I don't have to take my eyes off the road.

When I bought a new car recently, I was considering another Volkswagen, but I had seen a couple of their cars at an auto show recently, and one thing I didn't like is that they were using touch panels instead of buttons & switches for a lot of things.  So, even things like the 'switch' to turn on a fan or headlights, etc. was a flat touch panel instead of a physical button/switch/knob.
