i echo what people so far have said, modern cars for their creature comforts and economy - 88mpg some manufacturers are stating!!one!!!111!!!!eleven!!

i like the older cars because they are drivers cars, as much as i like traction control...it dosent like you HOONING about very much, the metals and alloys are much more fragile, and fiddly to fix - fiat grande punto's even use snap bolts to seal the gearbox to the engine so they can charge £2k for a new-ish engine - BAR STEWARDS

although seat design is good in modern cars - they hold you better and last longer, the older cars had some sense of comfort in them...my Escort cabriolet has sparco leather seats from a cosworth escort...they where the most comfortable seats i have sat in! after that an old renault 5 gt turbo

also older cars in the 80's and 90's tended not to have electronically speed limited ecu's it was just the mechanics of the car that limited your top speed!! the power the old group b rally cars used to produce...phwoar!
