Couldn't agree more. Although I for myself do like some moderd designed cars especially from Mercedes. I really like the sturdy build the used to make cars with. All has to be light en environmentlly friendly nowadays. Your car will last for a few more years I suppose. New cars aren't made to last more than let's say 10 years. You can just feel it when you drive in it.
Yeah, my point is that new cars a made to milk you, you can't change a light bulb on a new car anymore, they want you to take it in to the garage. They charged my brother €80 to change a bulb on his new Mercedes.
The only new car I had which I liked was my VW T5 good strong car, and it pulled our big caravan like a dream, but It was very expensive.
They are trying to make cars to be for the elite again. I would totally freak out when a garage owner was trying to charge me €80,- for changing 1 light bulb!
