Small isn't everything. I came up as a classic car enthusiast, so a lot of the standard stuff baffles me. It's a lot of things waiting to break and cost me. Not to mention the latest wave of using screens for everything - not only does it look entirely weird, I don't know how you're supposed to use this stuff while driving. There aren't many modern cars I'd want just based on the superfluous feature crap alone.

We aren't going back to small light cars with superior visibility. Neither the market nor regulators will bear it. I was lucky enough to catch the tail end of the cars at which my patience for modern stuff ends, at the tail of its roadworthy lifespan. I'll probably be going back to classic cars after my Civic ends its stint with me, whenever that is.
