Nope.

Surely no matter what side of the fence you're on, no one would want to go back to the cars of the 70's/80's etc.
Ford Cortina's or the modern equivalent in the latest Mondeo?
The current Mondeo has as much tech as a Merc I expect!

This is what I don't understand. It's like you'd rather live without the features, than risk the cost of them going wrong. It's not like classic (or is it vintage? ) cars don't have any costs to keep them on the road.
I'd say that's pretty bombproof.
Besides, not all failures disable the car. If you've a car without air con, it's horrible in any kind of warm weather. So buy one with air con. What if the air con breaks? You've just got a car without air con until you can be bothered to have it fixed.
The point I was making can be applied to any marque. C Class's, 3 Series, etc old V's new.
Love them or hate them Ford are great value for money with many goodies as standard.
Fords are absolutely decent cars and do the job they're meant to do .
I totally agree. They also make great vans. I made the mistake of ordering a W447 Vito because I needed an auto. Big mistake. Not a patch on the Transit Custom.
Cue the Deluded Vito lovers!
So it was YOU who bought the laserdisc !!!My daughter has one ( which is a bit of a toy as she only uses it to control her TV , nothing else ) and my sister has just ordered one , which I can't see her doing any more with .
I still have my Philips Pronto Pro remote control , which used to operate my AV system , until I tired of it and went back to my Quad Hi-FI system , these days it controls the TV , Freeview , Freesat , Blu-Ray , Laserdisc , YouView and other connected boxes . While I look after Crestron and AMX systems at work , I don't need one in the house .

unless you could afford a 35mm film projector in your house
Must have been space age back then.
A lot of the tech can just get in the way. But that seems to be on cheaper cars. It can be clunky and ponderous. I drive a new S-Max, new C-Max, Renault Kadjar, Skoda Yeti, some horrible Peugeot thing, and on all of them the keyless thing can be an annoying pain in the **** that just makes loads of demanding bloody beeping noises. Same goes for a lot of the rest of it.
The Fords and the Skoda can handle quite well even pushed hard for what they are.
I'm all for tech if it's an actual bonus. I also drive a 2 year old BMW 7 series and that's a lot better, although stuff breaks and is debilitating from time to time. And a year old Jaguar XJL, where the tech can be a little annoying and slow, but not all of it. I got stuck in that thing recently, software glitch on the door locks apparently.
Tomorrow I'll start driving a brand new Volvo X90 and I'm quite keen to see what the tech is like on that.
Our W221 was lovely in all respects including tech, which was smooth and helpful I thought.
