 My Kia Telluride has touch screen, but it has manual controls (knobs & buttons) also for all of the common stuff that you really need.  The rest of the features are just window dressing.

 ah, just read up on it... it's a rare mineral but not that rare, and it can be used to change lead and copper to be more useful in certain ways
