Peak car was 1990-1994, largely mechanical, little electronics and reliable as hell. My Merc from that time is built like a tank and everything is screwed together, not glued.

early '90s? nah, give me fuel injection, catalytic converter, ABS, and airbags, please

[–] Ton@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, all on board (except for the airbag) in my 1992 Benz.

The 1990 Honda Civic may be the most reliable car of all time. Sadly it's also easily stolen with nothing but a screwdriver, but still!
