are not easy to repair because they are not designed for it
are designed as obnoxiously as possible (see: blinding headlights, blind spots, size, noise levels from weight and wheel size, etc)
have excessive amounts of shitty tech ‘solutions’ to fulfill simple requirements (yes Daddy I loooove navigating menus on a touchscreen for my climate control and headlights)
you couldn’t pay me to drive the average new car. I just bought a 2012 that I don’t even know if it passes safety yet, because it’s better than spending twice as much in something newer and inevitably shittier, even after considering the unknowns that will pop up. at least the problems my 2012 will have will be fixable.
what would you want a new car for anyways?
they:
track you and harvest and sell your data
