I had a base model around that time frame. Good safety ratings for its time but the car isn’t integrated with the touchscreen so while it’s already a dumb-car, I could make our even more simple by tearing out the radio and installing one without a screen. Makes me happy to know I’m not obligated to fix it if the radio breaks because I drive maybe 30-40 miles a week and would rather keep my money than shell out for all the gimmicks.

Interiors looked really nice and you had analog dials etc. Wish some small screens, just enough.
Today it's just big plastic dashboard with cheap tablets stuck in them

The analog dials were an illusion. That information has been processed digitally for at least the last 25 years.

Analog an illusion? Yes.
Tactile effectiveness an illusion? No.

I don't really care what's happening in the backend, I want it to look nice and not cheap
