I use CarPlay for 2 years on a daily basis on my VW (w/ touch screen). The head unit is placed in the middle of the cockpit. In time you build up muscle memory so it can be a similar experience with hard buttons. The only catching point is if your phone is slow, features like CarPlay behaves nondeterministic. Thus, it becomes very distracting.

Also, to reduce distraction I suggest using Siri with CarPlay. It works like a charm and you don't even need to look to the screen.
