Are modern cars just too complicated?
Discussion
Not talking about supercars but the typical family car, filled with electrical gadgets, Ecu's etc, most of which a main dealer charges an arm and a leg to even diagnose a fault, and sometimes the AA/RAC can't fix by the roadside....
Take something like a mid seventies Ford Cortina/Capri two litre, with ignition you could adjust by manually turning the distributor, plugs and oil you could change yourself on the drive...I suspect in the real world a journey from say Newcastle to Cornwall would be accomplished in the same time, or maybe just a bit slower in the Cortina than the latest £30,000 offering from BMW or Jaguar.
