They are better when they work. They are significanly worse when they break down. Which almost every car does at some pojnt. Every time they break there is a risk that fixing it is going to be so expensive a huge chunk of your investment is going to be lost. Or that you have to scrap your car because it isn't worth the risk in case something else breaks. Yes, modern cars are more comfortable, easier to use, and safer. I don't agree that they are more reliable since fixability is a factor in reliability.
