Privacy glass down-under is vital.....helps keep the sun out.
Speed limiters - had a hire car with one set ridiculously low by the previous renter. Nearly died (not too much of an exaggeration) when I pulled on to a freeway, put my foot down and nothing past 60kph.

All modern cars are getting too big e.g. Compare the new and old Mini.

If our modern cars are just a practical alternative to the bus, train etc then why don't we buy the most basic, simple car in the cheapest range of cars available.
I don't know what that would be but it would possibly come from the far east or E.Europe.
... Now that you can no longer buy a new LR Defender The absence of most modern nonsense is why I love my Landie so much, despite its many other foibles

All driver aids - the day I can`t park, steer, know it`s raining, do a hill start or reverse will be the day I give up driving.

I must admit, I can enjoy both sides of the spectrum!
Tesla Model S, 21 inch, 17 inch touchscreen (only 2 buttons left on the dash!), autopilot, autopark, but no privacy glass...!
Morgan 4/4, carbs, no powersteering, just recently vacuum assistance for braking added with four-pot calipers in front, I felt almost guilty about that....!
So 2 worlds, it can be fun!

So 2 worlds, it can be fun! Part of the fun for me of driving a Morgan is that it is not a modern "box". But both have their place....
