@GeneralFalcao Yes, all mechanical things, for example i have a sierra 1.8diesel and there's nothing electronic)) and i love it

@redghost105 They didn't last longer on average, however the exceptions lasted longer than the exceptions of today - that is VERY true - but not for the reasons most expect.
The real problem today is that the cars continue to run well enough even when there is a problem building, so people just ignore the minor hints the car is giving them (in the past, with the same issues, the car would back-fire, run rich/lean, etc...today they correct themselves - to a point).
The "upgrade" mentality also.

@looncraz you might of had to make more adjustments, but it sure as hell lasted alot longer
thats what you have a mechanic for...to make the adjustments for you

Let's do a real comparison:
80/90's and earlier: Cap, rotor, wires, coil, manual fuel ratio, manual timing, manual valve adjustment, "problematic" v-belts
Today: 1 coil/plug, knock-sensor based timing (rare failure item as well), hydraulic lifters, oxygen sensors to regulate fuel ratio for optimal power and efficiency (100k MTBF), cam sensor to time/ref spark (low failure rate)
In the old days, you needed to make LOTS of adjustments. Today... none. Just sensor troubleshooting.

@redghost105 I can find all the pristine Volvos I want... maybe you should look at higher quality cars?
My '96 Volvo 850 is almost like new (engine-wise).

@jojothedog1234 thats why you can find a pristine condition, original 1960s car
but my 1995 honda is on the borderline of blowing up

@jojothedog1234 cars back in the 60s and 70s had border line no electronics
because of that, all it really need was the occasional oil change, very little engine maintenance(spark plugs, fuel injectors every decade or so)
but because of so many electronics in cars, that takes much more maintenance in less time, also cars back then were made out of materials that didnt go bad as fast, compared to the plastic and aluminum

@linf543 hey your right, my 45 yr old Chrysler has factory steering and rack, still works perfectly. But theres a reason why its just a farm car, steering is sooooo heavy and hurts your shoulders after a while!

its not ok on flooded roads

Excellent video. See my channel electric motor new design.It is very original model of electric motor (it has no accelerating coil, special phase-shifting devices and condensers).
Cars in the olden days didnt break? Are you retarded?

Cars in the old days did break, but they were a lot easier to fix back then because they weren't as complex as most modern-day cars.
