I often have disagreements in my social circle over whether older of newer cars are best.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's and drove the best at the time such as Mexico's, RS2000's, 2.8i Capris, HSR Chevette etc, then went on the Astra GTE's, Manta's etc, then on into the 90's with Supra's, Skylines etc.

Loved them all at the time but wouldn't drive one now, because IMO newer cars are better. I normally invoke the line "you wouldn't use a 20-30 year old phone/laptop/TV etc, so why would you use a car of the same era?"

I understand that folk have preferences, but to argue that older cars are better seems off to me.

Thoughts?
