This is why I can't imagine buying a newer car than, say, 2014. I have mid 2010s Toyota which is cheap enough to not have any consumer hostile or fragile features, and a mid 2000s Honda with much the same. Aside from sheer destruction, there's not much damage or failure that will be worth it to me to buy a replacement vehicle for either. Like most Americans, I used to think cars are cool, but if either dies I'm going to replace them with the oldest piece of shit I can.
