    Cars peaked in 2004 or 2005, most cars since then seem to be user data collection engines with wheels attached.

      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.

        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!
