100% agreed! I don't want any of these new features and safety crap. I don't want what they call a new car today. I want a brand new perfect condition 2000 to 2005 model. I want a car with a normal key you put in the ignition and start. I want a key fob that unlocks my doors. I want standard delay wipers and not a $1,500 rain sensing windshield. I want basic cruise control that cannot apply the brakes downhill. Just simply power windows AC cruise control and delay wipers which is the basic package that cars have been coming with since the mid 80s.My take on it is there’s to much extra crap on an automobile nowadays and the consumer has to absorb the extra costs. It’s not all crap that people necessarily want either. There’s the start stop technology (not a fan),backup cameras,blind spot assist, auto park assist, air bags out the ***** ( not saying I’m against airbags),heated/cooled seats and steering wheels, navigation systems, built in DVD players, etc....etc..... just naming a few.... it’s definitely not like the old days when if you had AC , power windows and door locks then you had a loaded optioned out ride.....oh and if you had a power radio antenna and a hood ornament you were the bomb!
I don't even need power seats. I'm completely okay with manually adjusting seats.
I just want a new condition car, not this crap they put in new cars today.
