extinct basic no-frills cars

[carwash44]

Anyone else feel like basic, no-frills cars are becoming extinct? Seems like features like adaptive cruise control and fancy infotainment systems are becoming the norm, even on cheaper rides.

Adaptive cruise control, Apple/Android Auto - Infotainment system, power everything and heated seats (no for steering wheel). Now these are good to have.

Some of this stuff is cool, but for me, a good phone mount and a decent Bluetooth connection do the trick. Plus, all these new auto features add complexity andcost. Maybe the real answer is a good, used car? The warranty is also a big selling point, but is it worth giving up the simplicity of an older car?

As much as I love modern cars (EVs in particular). I'll forever be an old school fan. I don't know but there's just an unmatched sense of connection and control I get when driving an old car. Or maybe I'm just getting old already
