Older cars don’t have the latest features and some of the old features probably won’t work when needed. If it’s over ten years old it should not be on the road. My 1987 Caprice excluded.

Nonsense and balderdash. My '93 can probably run any vehicle you drive into the ground. Huge, damned fast, runs like a watch......even at its age, with both A/C units running, and despite nearly 200K miles on it. It's all in how you take care of it. The only thing that isn't working properly on that vehicle today are the stereo system speakers.

I can't agree. Most of the "new features" are simply frills, or actually interfere with the way I want to drive a vehicle. Run'em 'til they die.

Not many new cars can beat this...
