Reliable modern car or temperamental classic?
Discussion
Hello,
It seems that as a petrolhead, I am having to choose between modern cars with amenities, such as perfectly working A/C and heat, reliability in hot and cold weathers, good fuel economy, safety, etc., and older cars with class, soul, a smile on your face, beauty, etc., but which would make life a living hell as a daily. If you had to pick one car, which would you pick for your daily duties? I like to remind myself that there's only one turn at life and instead of wasting it in a Civic (current daily), it would be so much more interesting in a classic car, such as my not-yet-running W123 coupe or a W108 sedan, or an Alfa GTV from the 60s, or some other ludicrous choice. And why not? Because it would cost more and provide less in the way of comforts and the other amenities we've come to expect?
But I can't say I've definitively picked one camp over the other. What do you guys think?
