The most modern car I've ever owned is 15 years old
Discussion
I've just been having a WhatsApp chat with a good petrolhead mate of mine, general car chit chat. We got talking about how modern cars are often quite soulless / digital, and that made me think about my past cars, and I've realised I've never owned a car from the 2010s or 2020s. I've driven a fair few, but they don't appeal to me.
My most modern cars would be the Z4 Coupe 3.0Si from 2007, with my old R53 Cooper S and 350Z Roadster as 2006 cars. My current car is a 2005 NC MX5.
Who else has never owned anything from the last decade or two?

Previous cars were 56 and 52 plate. Wife has a 57 plate car at the moment but has had a 58 plater in the past, hark at her.

Ah yes, the "peak car was about 15 years ago" thread.
Get old enough and you will recall people saying that about cars since forever.
It is a great place to be, the problem is you soon find yourself at peak car was about 25 years ago, and find yourself looking to spend £25k on a car you nearly bought for less than £5k 10 years ago.Get old enough and you will recall people saying that about cars since forever.
Newest car I’ve got is 2005. My weekend toy is 2003. Nearly took the plunge with a 2016 TTS as a daily in 2020 but crazy prices of late mean the idea of a new car is off the table. New cars are more digital and numb, sadly the way things are going. Will be even worse if we’re forced into soulless electric.
Weekend toy is a 2004 fiat barchetta. So much fun, light and responsive
Daily is a tesla model 3 long range which is soulless but supremely competent.
Most fun was its predecessor, a 2017 Subaru WRX sti 2017. So connected to the driver and the road, They don't make them like that anymore,.
