Cars today, yuck.
Over priced proprietary parts, the $1,000+ headlight.
Proprietary parts that won’t be available 6 years after the last one runs from the assembly line.
Over complex and difficult to trouble shoot.
Over sensitive because of all the over engineered and complex systems, electronics, that make the vehicle unreliable especially as it ages.
Super small, tight and light, the modern car drags your rear on the road, rides hard, doesn’t allow you to spread out or swing the legs up and take a nap in it (the Euro seating and more stiff suspension - no more bench seating, no leg room, hard sporty ride, poor sound proofing.)
Saving the world the modern car, though significant advancement in safety have been made, is generally lighter and small, and that works against safety (more violent acceleration in an impact, less space to trade.)
My assessment: the modern car is a plastic POS. A near disposable product with a practical useful life of 12-14 years before it’s ready for salvage. And then we talk about the “environment.” Durability / reliability / maintainability have gone backwards, but we have more USB ports!
And cup holders.................
The agenda is that car manufacturers are using the computer model of the sale.
Throw aways.
