- 5 Reasons Why Old Cars Are Better Than Modern Cars
Sure, new cars are great! They have amazing speed, horsepower, comfort, style, and more improvements then you can shake a stick at. However, there are some real reasons that #old #cars are better than #new cars. I'm going to walk through 5 and by the end, you might just want to go pick up a bit of an older car. We'll talk about reliability, but we'll talk about things like transmissions, the types of engines in these cars, and more.
We are always looking for supercars and supercar products to test, drive, and review, so if you would like to see your car, or product on our channel, please contact exoticcarplayplace@gmail.com

You forgot 6th reason: All new cars look the same.
Exactly, especially the SUvs
KITR OMG THANK YOUU FINALLY SOMEONE SAID, you see a Honda Civic or Camry like old gens, you can tell a mile away it’s that, now even those two look the same
old cars have souls
Ya thats true, also every car looks the same by they are all aggressive looking, like it's not something that special when you look at it and no car looks nicer then the other because they are all aggressive looking by the same looks.
How do newer cars look the same?
Has anyone noticed old cars are still running after 30 40 or even 50 years while you find newer cars in the scrap yard within 5 to 10 years?
My cars needed some things replaced but overall 17 years going it’s still running strong I call her beast cause that’s what she is a beast. What I really like about the car it has hydraulic steering and drive by wire throttle so you feel the engine you feel the steering and most importantly to me you feel the road it’s fun to drive. When you steer you get some weight and actually feels like your steering and dosnt feel loose. The throttle is great actually feel the power from the engine it’s fantastic
The only reason you think old cars are reliable is because you no longer see the old cars which have broken down. New cars are IMMENSELY more reliable than old cars.
@@HaydenLau. got your EV yet ?
@@freedomisntfree2089
No... I'm too young and too poor. Why is this relevant?
@@HaydenLau. it's relevant because within the next few years, if you do not somehow afford an electric, and still drive a gas powered automobile, then you definitely like older cars.... That is as long as the laws will allow you to drive your old gas powered automobile
Naturally aspirated petrol engine + manual transmission = perfect combo 🤩
True
As the owner of a 1.6 NA manual (esp in 4wd wagon) I have to disagree with you lol. Best is old school turbo or big NA (exception for a few engines, alfa, honda, etc)
Classic push rod engines very simple very reliable
Older cars don't come with payments. That puts them in the number 1 spot.
Technology has pretty much made newer cars disposable.
Absolutely
Yess
Because that is there strategy marketing. They wanna make disposable so they can buy again.
Yeah just like smartphones today
I agree, cars are kind of like iPhones or Computers nowadays
Younger generations will never know the pleasure of a beautiful day driving down a canyon road with the top down in a manual 5 speed and not a care in the world.
Seems to be the way, unfortunately. These cars really were so delightful even if they were down on horsepower. Cheers.
How bout hearing that carburetor
And none of us will know the magical experience of a stagecoach... you have been spoiled by your horseless carriage.
I am young and i drive a datsun 1200 with a four speed manual
@@DatsunBloke7357 that’s good, keep the culture up my good sir!
Modern cars have become the victim of corporate culture only the designated company like , Mazda , honda or Chevy could fix them but old cars were easily self repairable , I love my Honda civic 1986 model.
Yeah and all American companies have normalized investing as little money in materials as possible WHILE never decreasing the sell prices.
What isn't repairable in newer cars? I guess you just have to make your way around the newer safety stuff but you don't care about that...
New cars are just computer on wheels. When any major electronics break, there is no chance you can fix it, even if you are some electronics repair whiz, because the custom integrated chips cannot be sourced.
Pretty much it is a parts replacement program at that point
New cars are a drain on the wallet.
Some really are
I love old cars😍😍😍😍😍
Cheers
Same
i hate old i slap old
@@mirzamohammadayan7472 I hate new how many u had and scraped 🤣💩
@@jamesnorman2983 eh! new cars are more comfortable and easy to drive and you hate new?! hahaha what a joke
YES! Spot on! You could work on the older cars yourself, and you could do it right. You did not need special diagnostic/programming electronic tools that cost five figures or more.
In my college years I drove a Volvo 240. That rig was simple yet indestructible. I was 19 years old, and I performed full service on that ride - engine oil, transmission fluid, rear differential oil, brakes, spark plugs, everything. It was so simple to maintain. It lasted 351000 miles before it sacrificed itself to save my life. I walked away from a collision at 40MPH. A minivan had run a red light and I plowed right into it. After the collision, the driver's door opened as usual, and I walked away with just a seatbelt rash. I will never forget that shiny black 240. What a car!
Exactly I like to have a little control on how my car gets maibtained
im going to keep my e39 as long as they sell gas for it :)
Nice. Which engine configuration?
Daily 530D and fully restored 530i manual :)
Mine: E39, 523i, 1997
Manual gearbox
Yeah, that part does worry me. I feel the same about my E90. But, I wonder if they'll eventually squeeze us out via costs and regulations.
To add to this, modern all-electronic cars will never be collectible-they will be impossible to repair 20+ years from now. The modules will be discontinued, and no one will stock spares. You can easily maintain a carburated car from the 1960s-you would be able to do this on a 2015 car in 2055,
That is a great point and likely very true. Microprocessor everything today
Where there is a demand somebody will supply it. Its just enough people will have to want them. The less people want them the higher the price.
@@rchot84 Regardless of how many people want to repair it, there will not ever be thrid party source for all the electronic parts, the reason is that custom computer chips are protected by patents, limited run only at major foundary and third party parts manufacturers have no hope of duplicating it. That's why new computer cars are total disposable junk.
Maintenance and depreciation: cars pre-millenium were made to last 20-25 years
OS993 Absolutely. The reason cars nowadays don’t last longer than 10 is because of leasing. Most people take out 5 year leases then give the car back to get a newer one. In that case they sell the car used for a much lower price. If they can get the customer to constantly come back for repairs on their 5-8 year old car, then dealer/manufacturer makes $/€/£/¥
In Europe the G20 can be had with a manual in the 318d and 320d.
I really miss the old inline 6 cylinder engines, both Diesel and Petrol. The 525d in the E39 was just awesome and couldn't be killed!
I also do appreciate you reading all the comments! ❤
Agreed. Europe still recognizes the need for a manual.
It's funny how I'm 17 and I Really want a bmw 1994 325i kids these days don't know why their missing😢😢
I want a Mercedes Benz W123 Coupe.
I just bought a 1980 Mercedes 300SD, daily driver...😃
Summed up, simplicity and a soul makes classic cars better
That 90 year old trash can takes your soul to hell when you get in a minor accident 😁
I am 16 and from finland and i have 1980 oldsmobile cutlass with 1969 cutlass 350 engine
Older Cars look better and sound better in my opinion
And feel better
I love this video. I find it hilarious that people spend six figures on an automatic sports car "because it's 0.25 seconds faster in the quarter mile." My response is that unless you are a racer, with sponsors, then it's just an excuse for letting the computer do the driving for you. I'd take a Datson 510 any day over a
2021 Nissan GT-R.
100 percent agree and thanks for your comments and that is a confirmation as to why the old Porsche 911s from the 60-70-80s are launching in value because of the connected raw driving experience.
I love my Audi 80. Even if it has 90hp, it sounds great, is really comfortable and looks great. Everything easy to fix
Also the problem with newer cars, is that the manufacturers are designing their cars to last the 8 years of ownership that is average in the U.S. People are driven by comfort, and are very wasteful.
Cheers
Other modern car problems:
1. Cost price
2. High insurance premiums
3. Depreciation
4. Theft (Most criminals don't want old models)
Totally agree
disagree about theft...they steal whatever they can where I live. Low tech thieves will prefer low tech car versus modern security features in newer cars
@@jamesmedina2062 different criminals have tastes.Or emailveryone's cup of tea isn't the same 😉
True...
but there are alot of good things. with new cars such them being 10x as safe. My audi with presense has more than once stopped me from rear ending someone
Old school cars for me. Nothing beats the experience of driving a manual. You were in total control of the car...nowadays cars control you 😔😔😔
That is totally true
Nowadays cars control me? Are you exaggerating a little bit?
@HaydenLau. Not at all.
If you drive an automatic, you definitely don't know how to drive.
@@robles100
That is by definition not true XDXD. And if you drive an automatic, the car still doesn't control you. You definitely still control the car. You tell it to go left, it goes left. You tell it to go right, it goes right. You tell it to stop, it stops and you tell it to go, it goes. Tell me exactly how that is the car controlling you?
@@HaydenLau. That's okay, go "drive" your automatic
Great video. That is exactly why I'm holding on to my 2010 Lexus IS350! 👌
Lexus boy stop all dat electric junk🤣🤣💩
As long as they're not too old, generally less plastic & less electronics are better. But finding good ones is not easy. Honestly I wouldn't even mind if there were new cars made with roll up windows if they made them with the intention of being long lasting but that's not good for business resales.
True enough, would be great if they offered “lite”. Versions with less tech but still good performance specs
ExoticCar PlayPlace Believe it or not my '17 Civic was designed to be pure analog and lightweight. I actually wished the radio was either actually old school and playing cd's or new age and playing good satellite radio tunes. It does neither. To change the mileage information display you must lean forward and press on an inconvenient tiny stalk instead of having a button on the steering wheel. It's intentionally old school. I had to add insulation because there wasn't any in the doors. So kudos and smart for Honda to provide 6 speed manual option but I wish I could have gotten the k20 based 2.0L NA motor, port-injected with the hatchback which I couldn't instead of my turbo GDI motor. Its on sedans only. The wheels were too heavy as well so changed out for OZ's. And the exhaust restrictive so I switched muffler to Supersprint pieces I welded in. Now it's more like to my likings but I still have a crappy audio system difficult to upgrade, and a 50% vinyl steering wheel to replace with all leather. You get the picture. This car was analog and simpler, but not quite perfect as no car is especially at this price. It's a hit and miss with cars these days. But you have the right idea Mark. BMW and Merc and others need to continue to offer old school, manual trans, simpler and lightweight cars.
New cars cost too much and have too many things they simply don't need. Give me a Grand Prix or a Park Avenue with the 3800 any day of the week.
Great engine. Very Punchy
I'd be fine with a 1935 Chevrolet Suburban.
For one Older cars are easier to park than modern with bulky A , B , C Pillars
Nice
Yes, moved on to Porch. BMW no longer reliable, no plastic fuel pumps! BMW were my favorite. Nice video mate. Your spot on.
Thanks a lot Tim, much appreciated. Porsches are great cars and second to none for driving experience too.
I was about to say, you drive a porch? XD I thought those were in front of houses.
@@ECPP porches are expensive. But drive great.
Old cars often looks better , at least sportscars and supercars.
Many older ones do for sure
Milton Keenes old Toyota’s are ugly, except for the Supra, and bmw builds nicer cars than them
@@carguyns4348whats aboyt cities, civics and lancer evos?
Degrading plastic parts. Older cars generally were constructed of better or at least rebuildable parts.
Old cars are better because they've been around longer and they're more well known
True
Mark , I remember my 2.0 liter Peugeot engine in my 1979 504 .
It was cast iron block and alu head .
A modern 2.0 liter engine would easily fit 3 times in it !
That engine was bulletproof , here in the Netherlands you still see these 40 to 50 year old Peugeots running around , the ones that didn't rot away that is .
But as you say , the engineers used much more metal for the engines AND most of all , used motorcycle like chaines for distribution .
They only had about a 100 bhp , but ran forever .
I keep to these oldies , restored or original rather than buy a modern " playstation " .
You bet Chris, they really do not build them line they used to. It’s a throw away society.
I mostly agree, except for a couple of points...
On manual transmissions, just keep in mind that modern automatics are *much* better than those of the past, so depending on your driving style, it might be a tougher decision. I have a manual E90 BMW, and often wish I had an auto w/ paddle-shift. It might not be quite as good on the track, in terms of feel/experience, but I'm pretty much never on the track anymore. It would be superior for like 90% of my driving.
On the last point about technology, this is a double-edged sword. We also lose many crucial safety improvements if we go back too far. For example, I absolutely loved my E30, but my E90 is a way safer vehicle. I'm not sure how much advancement has been made since (at least the E90 has all the air-bags and such), but there is a pretty huge difference between 30-year-old cars and 10-year-old cars, for example.
True on the manual, only thing is they are more engaging. Thanks a lot for the support
The old car doesn't get old
Absolutely
unless it becomes a rust bucket. Had 1980 Honda Accord which drove absolutely great. But car had to be junked because it rusted through everywhere.
@@springer-qb4dv
My Toyota car was also 1980's, and it still works and doesn't turn into a rusty bucket. And i'm also like the Honda Accord which was a good car back in the day.
Me and my grandpa(my moms side), both agree classic cars are better than modern cars. Especially my grandpa with cars from the early 1900’s to mid 1970’s
Even if modern cars are more reliable, they're definitely not as user friendly as cars made before the 2010s, most are starting to take away essential features like spare tires, parking brakes, cup holders, and CD players, features that were still commonplace as recent as 2015. Hell a lot of them are also taking away the easy access to the locations of the oil filter and drain plug on the underbody.
CD players suck man
That's why i am owning a 635CSI and hopefully a W123 230E soon. New cars are just endless moneypits. They break down all the time and are just annoying.
@@ronch341 proof?
The body of Older Cars are 3x Harder and stronger than Today's car, Modern cars body can easily wreck with a single punch.
Well there actually design to crumple so it can lessen the impact. With older steel body cars, that’s not the case. So accident wise, a newer car would technically better in a crash. But I do still preferred older vehicles. The sound when you turn the key and here a mean soundin v8 under the hood and not even mentioning the exaust.
I gotta 1990 Ford Ranger XLT. Passed down from my grandfather and I like it more than the newer vehicles my parents have.
My dad: they just don't make cars like they used to
Me: Thank God
Nice
So glad you're pointing this out. You speaking facts for sure. It's getting ridiculous. These new cars aren't worth the price they're asking for them. Who wants a car with so many unnecessary gadgets that breaks like a toy and leaves new Bmw and Mercedes owners stranded at stop lights. They look embarrassed as hell. Then I pass them by in my old bmw or mercedes shaking my head. Great video. Hope these car manufacturers are taking notes.
Driving an 08 Ford crown victoria lx. Sure its an automatic. But big rear wheel drive cars hit different to me.
Forgot to mention, emission standards and environmental laws and policies are tightening more and more, totally understand and agree for greener and cleaner future, but old cars will always be in the heart and bring us back life and nostalgia from around 20-30 years ago :)
It is not for greener future, it is because the politicians in your country have sold your people to bankers who want to give you loans for new disposable cars and your people did nothing about it.
Well no one told to chevrolet etc not to make their old model but less pollution by changing the components
A greener future, when 16% of combined emissions in the US & EU come from light transport alone. Meanwhile the rest comes from industry, power generation, agriculture and heavy transport.
It seems to me the focus should be on tightening restrictions on those who do the majority of pollution & damage with the pockets and budgets to be able to clean the mess they created from the start.
People are perfectly fine driving any car they want, their carbon foot print is nothing compared to mega corps building disposable crap in China to evade labor & environmental laws in their own countries.
Once again, the pull the 'blame & guilt the consumer' card and it works so well. Just like the whole plastic recycling scam they pulled off on everyone.
Also, blind excessive consumerism and a culture of leasing and spoon fed convenience is part of the reason why we got here to start with.
me using my grandfather 45-year-old Mitsubishi Lancer wagon so much easy to maintain and fun to drive I love to hear the sound from the engine from that old car no turbo, no injector
I don't think modern engineers are smarter, i think that their jobs are easier because the engineers before them made their jobs easier, etc. BTW, I'll be holding on to my 2004 e46 325ci like a Cuban holds on to their classic car.
Thanks
Simpler the better. Still riding my 1985 380SL and it keeps up with traffic just fine. Always a blast looking at people faces when I zoom past them on i95.
For sure
@@ECPP wanna race with my 2021 jaguar 😤

So true man, sadly as is the case with many things these days keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot John
Great vid. Informative as usual!
Thanks
I have always wanted a BMW 3-series. 1st one I desired was a the E21 323i, then the E30 325i and then the E36 328i and then the E46 330i. When the E90 first came out it also had the 330i as the top engine, albeit with even more power. What they all had in common was a nice NA 6-cylinder engine. Then weirdly they decide to add turbos to the engine and we got the 335i ... and so it continued ever more in later models. For this reason, I intend to keep my 'purist' BMW E90 330i --- the last of its breed!
That and the e90/92 m3
@@ECPP - The M3 was a V8 I believe, cut down from the M5 V10 ... not one with the lineage of the BMW NA 6-cylinders
Old Classic Cars Better Than New 2020 Cars😍♥️
Older cars have more character. I am looking for a c5 corvette zo6. They all come with a manual; naturally aspirated; actually sounded good with stock exhaust; and you get a lot of noises when driving the car. I did drive the car, I just need to buy one
Great cars and they definitely do not build them like that anymore
I agree with you. I love vintage luxury cars. Way better than the modern cars. The design of the newer cars are worser than their predecessors.
You bet there are so many great older performance and vintage or muscle cars out there
@@ECPP 1960s, 70s 80s, 90s and 2000s had the best cars.
Lower emotion regulation
More tunable engines
Looks better to enthusiasiasts
Lower saftey features
Simpler cars to work on
I know you don't deal in 4x4s, but I had a 79 CJ-7 for over 20 years. It was 14 years old when I bought it. It was one bad ass mo fo. I got the bright idea to purchase a slightly used 2005 Rubicon Wrangler and sell the CJ. About 5 years after purchase, with less that 33K miles on it, I started having all kids of computer problems, wiring problems, etc. Since it was manufactured by Chrysler, I figured the local Dodge dealer could repair it. No such luck. Moral of the story? The CJ was meant to used, repaired, enjoyed, repeat. The Wrangler? Drive, trade in, repeat.
I Drive an 98 Camry with 300k Miles Manual Transmission and 2.2 liter Natural aspiratet engine greetings from Germany:)
Cheers
Macher 🤝
Its Retro or go home, I just will not own anything post 2000. Our family car is a 98' reg Toyota Estima its a absolute work horse my other car is a 85' reg BMW e28 again never missed a beat in 5 years and looks unbelievable and my partner wants a mk1 VW golf when she passes her test. Modern cars are just charecterless boring and not for me.
2001 - 2011 cars aren't really that much different from retro cars.
The cars from 2012 onwards are extremely advanced.
The purpose of a vehicle is transportation. My £500 22 year old Volvo will take you to exactly the same destination as a brand new Tesla. And will probably be quicker if its a long journey, as I wont need to stop for hours recharging.
Bought my Honda Civic Del Sol, new, in 1993 and still drive it daily. The reliability is outstanding; however, I do wish it had more room!
Great little cars and easy to fix too
Great Video!!!!
Thank you
I have Tatra 613 in my house after my father died in 2010 before my dad died my dad give me his key to the car and it drives so good and have a good mobility and quality now i still drive my father Tatra until now
I drive a car with hydraulic brakes and steering and drive by wire throttle you feel the engine you feel the steering and brakes and you feel the road. Drove my friends new car 2017 and I hated it everything was way too smooth for me I had no feedback in the steering it was like I wasn’t even steering I had no feedback on the throttle felt like I had no control of anything.
Don't forget about planned obsolescence, that's why I'm 30 and drive a good ol' E46
totaly agree ! Btw are those portuguese number plates on the wall? Greetings from Portugal
Thanks yes. From the Azores. Cheers
I have a 2011 BMW and the interior is state of the art...for the late 1990s. But I like the retro simplicity of dials.
I love the car because it's (i think) one of the last NA engined versions. I don't believe the turbos will be as long lived engines if driven consistently hard. Same goes for my manual vrs. auto transmission
Totally agree.
I've have currently '59 Leyland mini (1275 block from '80) all original parts. Fastest acceleration up to about 100km/h and can get 450km on 18l petrol, driving it hard. Most modern cars cannot get that.
The only major issue was the replacement of the top engine mount after hard driving.
And the '86 Ford Cortina 3.0l Leisure van / bakkie / truck (depends where u are from). With the famous Essex V6. Treat it well, she will last a really long time and easy to repair. The fuel consumption and torque beats athe majority of my friends modern bakkies.
The longest trip was 1100km in a day. Pleasure to drive, the sound is amazing.
Yes I have modern cars. No need to mention them here except for - I trust the older vehicles much much more
"...those are all used interchangeably to suggest a manual activated transmission, via a third pedal on the floor"
😵
What..?! Who actually speaks that way?
Give us a top 10 ranking of best car to consider
Amen bro, amen. You read my mind!
Thanks Rich. Have a great day
I'm a huge fan of cars built 2010 and before at the base model because I feel like their easier to work on. A lack of all the high tech gadgets makes repairs and replacements much simpler.
Sorry manufactures, my next car will be a '68 -'81 Mercedes Benz, 4 cylinder diesel, manual transmission, roll-up windows and manual sunroof.
Very nice
My truck is so old,
There never was a "Check Engine Light" in it.
Came only with lap belts no shoulder harnesses
The are no "fault codes" because,
There is no computer!
Has never failed a Smog Check because,
It's never been smogged.
Grandfathered in?
It's 100% exempt from smog checks.
That is awesome. That’s the way it should be.
Absolutely, you are completely right, this is intentional is a business model of the new era in any machine, device or other equipment, big corporates know that if they give you reliability they will lose money , so manufacturers come to find a way to sell comfort as the most positive attribute for a vehicle. Making vehicles disposable through the course of the years. Is similar to what is happening in the tech industry. I'll definitely buy as my first vehicle a 4x4 old school with just the enough essential parts and analog, all the commodities I'll maybe add them later as well as luxury
Awesome, yes more are really throw away these days so if you find a good one, keep it
@@ECPP absolutely my friend thank you for the advice
I honestly prefer an old engine tuned 240sx.
Cheers
My mechanic recommended not to buy a car made after 2010 because that was when manufactures put way too much technology and electronics into cars meaning alot more things will do wrong. Also, I have driven new model cars and they feel too automated, computerised and no feeling or driver involvement like the older cars have.
Cheers
I`m so glad that we get more and more voices like that. There is no freedom in modern cars, the 90`s and the 20`s are what the people like the most. It`s not a crime to have analog components in a car that can be fixed and if replaced not to need a fortune. Exc;actly my thoughts...thank you very much for this video!!!!👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
How will the banks and car makers benefit, when you decide to keep your perfectly reliable car for 20+ years, instead of leasing it every 5-8 years?
Same here I'm keeping my Lexus isf 5.0L V8 she's bullet proof 👍
Solid
There are far more than just 5 reasons why older cars are better, yet manual transmission isnt realy one of them.
Manual transmission is a major reason
can't generalize the same reasons for every car. some people want a big old yacht with auto tran while for a buyer of small, sporty car, manual trans is more reliable and more fun. it depends on the buyer but for sports cars, manual and auto were always optioned. today we often dont get both choices.
Totally agree Mark, all excellent and accurate points.
Thanks a lot for watching.
@@ECPP absolutely Mark! Thank you for making the great videos.
Older vehicles companies start experimenting with aerodynamics differently, which is why they're more recognisable than most modern cars which has found the optimal design for aerodynamics which most car companies use, with little touches and design cues
I'm not sure if they are better or not, but american cars before the 80s were magnificient pieces of art, every one of them. Beautiful design. Now they are just practical, which is fine, but regarding design, classic cars from 1920s to 1970s (of course they are exceptions in the 1980s and beyond) are SO much better
I love my Civic Type R 30th Edition. All you need to really drive. NA engine, short 6 gear MT, 9.000 rpm, 1200 kg, instable rear setup. Analog. And I drive. Richie might be faster on the straight with his 300.000 bucks toy but he can't learn to drive in those. You are just a passenger of the computer and mistakes can not be recognized nor corrected.
Today imagine being dependent on car rental. How many handbooks do you have to read to run all those different cars? Once any car worked the same. A huge safety task as well if you cand blindfold set your AC...
Buying a good ol kia pride. 20 years old runs great like what I grew up with. I wont pay mortgage for a new one only to have a scrap car even before I pay it off. Spending that monthly instead on a 90s car will make it super handsome
Just wish they'd keep making parts for my oldies. They're getting less common.
Right?
@@ECPP Yeah, some of these cars are outliving their intended lifespans, and basic mech parts are common, but the plastic stuff is hard to get.
I recently thought my old Hardbody was dust due to an obsolete little wax idle solenoid that made it fail smog. Finally found SMP had one. $100!
I totally agree. For Example Id rather have a 1990 chevy caprice than a 2010 chevy malibu since i can rely on it and fix it myself easily.
Excellent video
Thanks a lot, much appreciated.
got a Benz w124 diesel with 430k running strong and I literally can relate to this whole vid
You are right Correct wow you should given a prize I am happy that you have tell real reasons technology losing the real interest real emotions of humans
Thanks
The best thing about older cars? For example my 996 turbo was cheaper to insure than my beater 2011 Mazda 3 haha, also my 15 BMW m4 Is so expensive to insure almost same price as 2011 GT-R. Thing is if you have older car you need to buy parts more often. If you work on your car yourself that's even better but if You have almost brand new car. Gotta make payments.... I always wondered which can save you more, I think it's same thing
DailyDrivenTurbo I think sometimes it's a wash. I bought two 5k dollar mazda 6 wagons with V6's but I had to spend money on both and just gave up on the 2nd one. In such a scenario, a poorly maintained money pit is inferior to a newer vehicle especially for consistency of usability. So if you have 20k cash saved up I would get an older car and redo the motor to perfection but since I dont have the money saved up, the only answer for me is new or slightly used 1-3 year old car in certain models with warranty.
You should of mentioned the feeling of older vehicles having carburetors
For sure
Nothing quite feels like turning your own key to switch on your vehicle
Yup agreed with all great video
Thanks for watching
My 1990 vr4 and 2001 galant still on the go whilst my 8 yr old notamini cooper has already spat its chain and plagued with electronic faults.
Electronic plastic shite now.
I like newer cars more than older ones, one day I’ll get a new car, but deprecation drives me away at the moment.
It is a big hit buying brand new, but that new car smell is wonderful.
@@ECPP 1 year later. Yeah, I just want a nice highway cruiser, I will buy the new whips one day.
I also have a k20 Honda civic si ep3 I'll never get rid of had it for more than ten years 🤔 because using my Lexus isf as a daily isn't practical
Wow. Been at this a while. When was your first video?
Hi I believe around 2916
You don't get the driver feel from new cars.
I have owned plenty of cars and the three cars that gave me the driver feel was.
1: 1996 honda civic EX.
2: 1991 honda civic hatchback.
3: 1980 toyota corolla hatchback(kicking myself for selling it).
Modern cars have improved alot, but have destroyed the driving experience in the process.
Also old cars are extremely easy to work on and cheap to maintain.
Had an old 1995 ford f150. Could replace any part in a parking lot and have it done in less then 20min. My newer truck takes hours to fix and I usually need special equipment and facility to do it.
I just want to go back.
If you watch Knights of Sidonia ( mecha anime) the older mechs perform better than their newer counterparts. Same here!
