I was saying the same thing 20 years ago. Power windows! Power door =
locks! Power seats, for chrissake! Remote entry and alarms systems! =
Keyless starters! Not a one of them necessary. Each one a potential =
expensive repair down the road.

Our newest car is a 2001 Toyota Echo without a single one of these mod =
cons. 135K and hopefully will go much longer. I really do not want to be =
forced into a car with one of those key fob gadgets.

Some of the newer safety devices are good to have. If my son (fairly =
new driver at the time) had been driving a car with a collision =
avoidance system, he might not have totaled the car when he ran into =
someone. The car we got as a replacement system has collision =
avoidance, and the rest of the stuff that comes along with it.
My everyday car is ready to be replaced, and I agree about all the junk =
in the new cars that's not really needed. I hate paying for stuff I =
don't want and probably won't use, and I especially hate to pay to have =
someone fix it in a year or two when it stops working. That being said, =
I almost took a car off my list because my cell phone doesn't fit in the =
built-in wireless charger. First world problems, I guess.
