I frequently bemoan the state of new cars on the market. Too much invasive vehicle telemetry and "safety" features that are more hazard than help because they aren't ready for prime-time.

Starting to look into replacements for my wife's car, which has become a money pit rather prematurely (only 140k miles and scheduled for a new transmission).

I know most cars are awful, so Im looking for recs if you've bought a car in the past few years that you're actually happy with.

@paulknightly Well it's too late for me to weigh in on this, but if you took the money from a new car payment and put it into your old vehicle, you'd quickly run out of repairs to do after a couple/few years. For the cost of a new car, you could have really pimped out your old car beyond just maintaining it.

@paulknightly But based on a later comment, it looks like it wasn't worth keeping around
