My one big car that really stuck out in my case was an old 88 Town Car. My thoughts are on long highway stretches they are fine. But since driving new models, my thoughts have definitely changed. The power steering had dead spots or delayed action. The cars definitely wallow into turns. And it only increases with age. Visibility limitations within the lane. Hard to park and city driving limitations. I like more defined steering response today. And changing ride modes. And a host of modern options. Outstanding sound systems, hands free phone and a myriad of other amenities. I won't even buy a new car anymore without built in NAV and touch screen.

Lastly the seats are far better on many new ones. Better lumbar support and numerous personal driving settings. Why buy primitive and go through a restoration and mechanical process, and still be with dated old school technology.

I hear ya there. Unfortunately there was a similar debate over this on a recent Cadillac Brougham thread.
