      I've actually never seen a normal driver make regular use of lane steering/correction unless they were on a highway roadtrip. It's an alarming and unsafe feature on any other kind of road.

      Bahhhh you dont need that AC or heater…thats just too much tech! Yes no need for motorized windows-too fancy! Just strain a muscle or ligament trying to roll up the window by hand!
      Hell they need to take out those stupid seat belt things too-nobody else’s business if I kill myself in an auto accident than mine!

    I learned to drive in a '72 VW Microbus. It had no comfort features, wind up windows, manual transmission and no power. It was one step above a military vehicle. I can do without gadgets and electronics just fine.

    Last new car I bought was a 2015 WRX, sold it after 5 years and 30k miles. Now everything I drive (except for wife's car) was made before 1975... it's so much easier despite the potential safety issues if I'm in a wreck.

    electric park brake button. Did we need it? I didn't have a problem with a mechanical pedal or handle. The button means your rears have to be electrically controlled. means screw piston, means twisty tool to retract, means special tool and extra time for brake job. Means a simple brake job just became that much more expensive.

    We purchased 2006 Subaru and 2007 ram for $3k a piece 5 years ago. Both have around 200k miles. I will continue to rebuild them to avoid buying a newer car, nothing newer than 2010.

    I remember back in the mid 70s nuclear power was really being hyped up big time. It was said that by the year 2000 100% of the U.S. power grid would be supplied by nuclear reactors. Then Three Mile Island happened. That brought the nuclear craze to a complete stop. We won't ever have 100% of the power grid supplied by nuclear and we won't ever have 100% of the car fleet in this country be EVs.

    That’s why I drive my 74 SD455 T/A Unbelievable reliable it’s pennies to do maintenance. My advice buy only new and pay higher money for true quality parts if you need to buy any part, don’t drive as if it’s a race, my car has just about lasted me my life, Ohh yeah anticipating what ALL drivers might do around you be prepared and never have the spirit to get even you and your car will be alive to share your stories.
