I'm more and more inclined towards simpler cars - minimum electronics, software, firmware, etc.
I'd go back to a looking for a nice car circa 2000 if I can do it again. Mechanicals are easier/cheaper to replace and fix. I'd rather spend, say 3K rebuilding a transmission than spending 500 bucks to replace a fancy side mirror that goes up and down.
Probably the only electronics I would keep would be those related to airbags and ABS and the comfort of heated seats. I can sacrifice pretty much everything else.
