Here's a thought, get a car made in the same decade. Your experience on budget automatic from 2001 doesn't represent modern cars.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Our car is an automatic which is pretty recent and it's great.

newer cars are hard to find without proprietry spyware

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I don't have a problem with convenience features, but the laws that allow manufacturers to spy on me can fuck off

2006 was peak cars. Today, 2006 duramax is the best truck money can buy, and 2006 ls460 is the best car money can buy

Source, my dad who ran an auto repair shop for over 50 years

I know those are both automatics but just think they would be even better with manuals lol

2006? One of the last good years, for sure, but about two decades past the peak.

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Depends what you are valuing I guess. But I certainly wouldn't say 1986 is peak if that's what you meant....

Maybe late 60s. Those cars are amazing. But they aren't safe, efficient, or very comfortable. Have you ever driven a car with drum brakes??

Serviceability though yeah, those old cars can be fixed at home.

Oh yeah I didn't consider Volvo. I guess 80s Mercedes turbo diesels are up there too...
