Not the greatest design, but my Mazda 3 has a mix of digital and analog gauges.
We need a law to ban the turn signal buttons. Why can’t the president just do that right now? Priorities!

“As of January 2026, Euro NCAP requires vehicles to feature physical buttons, stalks, or switches for five essential functions—including turn signals—to achieve a 5-star safety rating. The other mandated controls are hazard lights, windscreen wipers, the horn, and SOS/eCall functions. Manufacturers that rely solely on touchscreens for these critical tasks will now face point deductions in their safety evaluations, specifically impacting their “Safe Driving” score”
I can’t wait!
@Mr-914 that Mazda 3 cluster is nice indeed. I wish Mazda would get off their butts and make some decent EVs that stayed true to this kind of thinking in terms of experience.
This take is an enjoyable read:

After reading that, I thought, ‘maybe I’m too harsh’. I went back and looked again. Pininfarina is still open, right?
Re: Mazda. I wish they would get some EVs out, but I can’t blame them. They only have enough cash to make the switch once, so they need to hit the timing on the dot. I can’t wait though, I’m sure it will be good!
