That’s one reason I prefer older cars. No power windows. No power seats. No computer gizmos. Just reliable transportation.

And to cool you down, just pop open a vent window.

My wife would consider that a wonderful option. She loves her heated seats. She had a loaner car last week with a heated steering wheel and she was on the verge of selling her six month old car to get a newer model with the heated steering wheel. I think she was kidding.

Unfortunately, older cars are much less reliable than modern cars in many ways which matter. Their engines are less reliable, their drive trains are less reliable.

However, as you posit, add a lot of computer gismos and overall reliability goes down. Your bluetooth connection may not work. Your ability to give voice commands to your radio may not work. Your overall media system may have numerous glitches.

That is where the “unreliability” of modern vehicles comes from, the huge increase in the numbers of software dominated systems which transform a vehicle into a media dominated space away from home.
