 Honestly I like older cars more. New cars are way too advanced for me and are honestly terrible imo.

 no car is advanced enough for me !

i refuse to buy electric because that's too primitive for my taste !

my car ( Volvo S60 T8 PHEV ) has a gas engine, two electric motors, two batteries, a supercharger AND a turbocharger and all wheel drive.  it can drive on either gas alone or electricity alone or both or it can use gas to create electricity.  and it decides when to use what source of power depending on what route you enter into the GPS system because electric works better in cities and gas on highways.

 and if i designed a car myself it would be at least twice as complicated as that.
