Cars are really going in the wrong direction overall. I do like a car with some tech like power windows, memory seats etc but I do not want to connect it to the internet. I have my smartphone for it already. I want my car to be dumb. Add Key, it works. No key, you are locked out and you can call someone to unlock it for you.
Btw, not to mention that New Cars are becoming too expensive compared to say 15-20 years ago due to all this "tech" while the engines are becoming crappy with plastic (shout out to famous youtuber Scotty Kilmer if anyone knows him :))
- marshmallow_12 6y agoi'm not sure how much the tech adds to the price of the car. More likely the price increase is due to much stricter crash safety standards then existed 20 years ago. If crappy plastic makes an engine more reliable, economical, powerful and cheaper, then most people are willing to give up on some durability.
- dazc 6y agoThe original buyer is covered by the warranty so doesn't care about the plastic parts that will, likely, not wear out in the first couple of years anyhow. The next sucker down the line though is in for some severe finacial pain.
- wil421 6y agoI don’t buy it. People were saying the same thing 15+ years ago and I’ve owned several cars from the 2000s, 2 of them for over a decade. 2 Toyotas and a BMW, all had water pumps and bearings wear out. The water pump has plastic but the plastic’s life is longer than the bearings in the pump. Water pumps, wheel or u-joint bearings, and emission sensors were the only issues.
