The Biggest Issue With Modern Cars...

I'm one of the few enthusiasts who argue new cars are objectively better than older cars in most factors. However, I have issues with how expendable they are. What do i mean by this? Watch the video in full and find out!

[@genlus_s]

I mean, Toyota is still around, so I don't know what you are talking about...

[@BM-13_KATYUSHA]

​​@@genlus_s Because toyota has enough money to innovate but their newer cars definitely declined in quality too, just not as much as cars from other brands. The new Corolla likes to spontaneously combust, the Yaris is more reliable than the previous generation but still not up to Toyota's standards and the GR Supra uses a BMW engine which is not that bad but the GR86 IS A FUCKING SUBARU, SAY BYE TO YOUR HEAD GASKETS! (all of these points are exaggerated, it's really not that bad)

[@HowToSpec]

@@The_gear_head_ not necessarily true, word of mouth is arguably the best promotion a brand could have. We’ve always seen comments like “my mother had this car and she said it was awful” or “my mate had one of these and it was brilliant” If brands made good, long lasting products (applies to everything really) then they WILL get more sales. Perhaps less profit margins but it’s a worthy sacrifice. Simply because if everyone is raving about how reliable or well built or cheap to run their car was, people who need that kind of thing will indeed buy/finance it.

[@codyrap95]

​@@HowToSpec That is simply not true. Research the case of Mercedes W123 and you will find out why a reliable car spells financial trouble and risk of bankruptcy.

Industrial designer here. The worst project I had was for the hobby/professional market where I had to design a tool. After the prototype phase the product was sturdy and reliable and I loved it, but for the next phase the client wanted to have part x,y, z, and so on in different materials which needed to break after a sertain amount of uses... So I had to redesign it for "break on demand" because they made more money with spare parts than with the actual product...

Youre not wrong actually! Yes, there is technically a sliver of display, but I wouldnt refer to it as a screen. Its in the early 2000s green and tells you the time and the cd/ radio and nothing more Definitely a lot nicer to drive, even without a backup camera lol

Theres nothing actively wrong, but she is noticeably wearing her miles. I take her for fixes every other year that cost a large percentage of the car itself, but its worth it to me. Im just starting to see the appeal of a newer mustang, thats all Id miss my old convertible though, unbelievably cool

[@24kumardivyam12]

The fact that with present technology car manufacturers can make the most reliable vehicle than ever before in history . Almost endless simulations can be done today which will find any possible problem which can occur in future . But instead manufactures focus on how could they keep running their business and thus intentionally make the vehicle flawed . if wasn't for greed we could have had some really capable cars today.

[@jordansauced3825]

anyone who thinks anything negative about you getting a 430 is not someone who should concern you. Not because “wheres your ferrari”, but because it is a great car with a great history and theres a reason why Ferrari as a company has weird “pretentious” rules. its so that people that disrespect their heritage can have whatever opinions from the outside. tldr that car will have you creaming in the seats fuck the onlookers. great start to a collection, great daily, great track, great all around. ferrari badge is cool but thats a real car if there ever was one

@@robertlevasseur6843 yea I’m making a video on this soon. Not even long ago, I used to be so focused on material gain. Stressing over getting rich, making the most money, having the newest car on the road, wearing the nicest clothes etc. I thought it would all make me happy, but it won’t for any of us. I’m starting to lose interest in it all, it’s just the never ending race for chasing something new

[@n30h_55]

1:46 Are you buying it because you want it or people around want you to have one it's kinda stupid to not buy things you like because people assuming stuff

[@JPilsonSumbo]

some people don’t buy the latest products just to "keep up with the Joneses." Sometimes, they genuinely like having the newest technology or staying up-to-date. For example, when I was 15, I used to flash my Android phone to get the latest system updates, even though my device wasn’t officially supported. I preferred Android over iPhone, despite everyone around me using iPhones and even teasing me for sticking with Android. I didn’t care about what was popular-I just liked Android better. This shows that some people don’t always want the latest thing for show; they want it because it aligns with their preferences and interests. Now, as I look into buying a car, I find the Cupra Formentor really interesting. It’s a relatively new model, having been on the market for less than five years, but they’ve already released a facelift. Imagine buying the previous generation just a month before the facelift comes out-it would feel like my purchase was instantly outdated. This highlights a frustrating trend: product lifecycles are getting shorter, and it can be annoying when something you’ve just bought quickly becomes “old” or “outdated” even if you genuinely like it.

[@Adrianinhd]

I HATE how quickly facelifts are done. It should be 5 years minimum before a facelift. That way most responsible people will have at least been able to pay off their current vehicles and make a wiser choice in whether or not to "upgrade" or not.

[@HowToSpec]

@@Adrianinhd it’s unfair, completely unfair. Imagine being the guy who gets his brand new 24reg M2 and then quite literally the day after the facelift has been announced. The cars only been on sale for a year or so, it’s ridiculous! There should be some warning for those who buy a new car close to the new facelift, as they simply make them too early on

[@nickrajotte6802]

[@Your-Local-RX-Guy]

I feel like if we just normalized public transportation, most automotive issues would just vanish

[@HowToSpec]

Public transport is horrible. It can never be “good,” as it completely depends on the people who use it as well as you and there is no promise other people will be respectful and sanitary (I.e not smell awful)

[@sasanice7112]

​​​@@Your-Local-RX-Guy look: i live in switzerland. We basically have one of the best public transportation systems worldwide. I am still driving a car (or bycicle in the city during summer). Why? Public transportation is slow, needs much more time and is not that much cheaper than a cheap 4 cylinder powered car. Also you have way too much people using public transportation. You will never find a place to sit down on your 1 hour train ride. The other problem is that a lot of drug addicts and weird, agressive and not working people use public transportation and you dont wanna be around them. So the car is the way to go. (Or the bycicle) (or the motorcycle)

[@TerrinLee]

One that's bad with the facelift thing is the 2010-2012 mustang, was a new look compared to the previous 2005-2009, but then in 2013 it got another facelift that only lasted to 2014. Then it got a complete redesign in 2015.

[@guilletous89]

I do not see any problem with that.

[@nigelvanvarik6397]

My main issue with most modern cars. Is that they are so dull to drive. They might be faster, but older cars feel way more rewarding to drive because you can feel everything through the seats, pedals and steering wheel. (My reference point is from the cars that ive owned and a few dozen of new rental cars ive had to drive for work)

I'd say that the shift to an interior without buttons is also going to get expensive to maintain in the future - cause what happens when its all screens, they stop working, AND the manufacturers dont support your model anymore?

[@Mr.Crow1984]

So i don't know how this works since i don't live in the us. But what a friend that lives there told me, is that there is a lease culture for everything forming up, cars is main thing, but this applies in general to everything. Basically people will lease a car for 2 or 3 years and then they switch for a new one. Sometimes they will keep it, but most times they will switch for a new one.

[@saiyakaio2742]

If you buy a car too early you’ll miss out on the special version or facelift, but if you buy it too late it’ll be considered an older model, seen as cheaper, or theres a new generation old for it. It makes you feel bad. My friend just bought a 2019 mustang 5.0 premium low mileage for 32k and then 8 months later the new 2024 mustang model came out and had he just saved for those 8 extra months he could have a brand new 5.0 mustang or even a dark horse, but now he is stuck with a 5 year old mustang that just lost half it’s value with the new model coming out. I also wish that car manufacturers would allow a “minimalist option/spec” which has entertainment items such as screens removed from the car, significantly altering and lowering the price. I just don’t want a big af screen in my car nowadays, barely anyone uses it, it increases the price, can become outdated and im driving for the car, not for the tv. I plan on waiting a year or two for the new honda prelude or mr2 to come out and then having all the facelifts and versions to come out. I’ll be pissed that im no longer “buying a brand new on the market” car but I don’t wanna buy the inferior model for full price knowing that a facelift will be on it’s way which may fix issues that may be a problem for the pre-lift that might last it’s entire lifetime

If im buying the car it's because i want to impress myself and be proud of grinding to get to this point of buying my dream vehicle. The car community has and always will be full of jealous, half wit, attention seeking, know-it-all "enthusiasts" and try hards who think they know what's best, think they know everything, that you're wrong and they're right, and think they know what YOU should own even though it's YOUR MONEY. People that just wanna buy what they love will never impress these people and they shouldn't want to either. Best advice with any community, buy/collect/and enjoy what you love and ignore the rest of the community in the process.

[@LAJIRAFA66_ALT]

As for the whole cars evolving and getting an updated version years later I feel like that's the least of the problems cars now are getting (even then that's been an existing thing companies have been doing dude c'mon). Cars getting a special addition of something is fine imo, it shouldn't devalue the one you own anyways unless you're extremely insecure. The thing i hate is how hideous lots of cars are becoming and how many are starting or planning to switch to EV's. For normal people it's not a big deal but as a car guy having a car with no combustion engine feels just wrong. I'm not gonna act like I know what's better for the environment like a lot of people do, im just speaking from a personal opinion.

I hate that you show an E90 with an iDrive as an example of an "old awful looking screen". You might say I'm biased, because I own one, but man. The interior with the screen is 10x better than without one. The screen is decent too. Resolution is good, navigation works better than Google Maps (with updated map data). The only complaint I can have is the technology limitations of the time. Old Bluetooth standards, slow USB ports and hard drive (you have to wait a few seconds after you turn on the car), but those things couldn't be done better. It's like expecting 1Tb/s transfers from modern USB ports. We aren't there yet. The only thing they could do is make it possible to retrofit faster stuff in the future, but firts of all. -It's going to make it more expensive and people buying it used in 20 years probably won't spend the money to upgrade it anyway -Current technology is at a point where it's "faster than us". We no longer need to wait for "loading" or "searching", like we did 20 years ago.

Modern cars are ugly to look at. The interior in most modern cars is nothing but a bunch of screens taped together like the 7 series you mentioned. Someone commented on Nico Rosberg's new car blog that if they are buying a car that expensive then they'd expect it to not feel like they're sitting in a strip club(it was a reference to the interior ambient lighting).

modern cars lost the plot It's supposed to get you places. Now it's a lifestyle, an experience, and an appliance, and does NOTHING well

[@HowToSpec]

I don’t think they do nothing well. They’re perfectly fine cars for normal people who aren’t car saddos like us.

[@TheLTcousins]

Your argument on facelifts and special editions is flawed, these cars spend years in R&D and require a lot of money to do so. You need time and money to develope and improve things, and a lot of the problems show up only after it has been released and they might also bring new ways to do things better. If you wait and wait and wait to have the 458 be the 458 speciale from the start you wouldnt have a car at all, cause guess what, for the speciale you can make the same argument

[@TrondelagianPatriotsriseup]

How could you say "Reject modernism" and then show a picture of a porsche, cmon man...

[@HowToSpec]

Because the 992.2 is objectively the worst gen of 911.

[@Excepticus]

​@@HowToSpecso you'd say it's worse than the 996?

[@HowToSpec]

@@Excepticus 100%, I love the 996. It’s my favourite generation honestly

[@Excepticus]

@@HowToSpec at this point it feels like an excuse. I can understand the 992.2 thing because of the digital dash, abolition of the left side key but the 992.1 was definitely a good successor to the 991.2 considering all the regulations being pushed onto car manufacturers

[@sasanice7112]

​@@HowToSpec yeah but even the worst 911 is beautiful. The macan and cayenne are ugly.

Bro, I am struggling to buy a Fiat Uno

[@mahdihosseini6361]

What the heck is jumbled pot of opinions

[@boio777]

Why do you care about if others think your Ferrari is old and cheap? It’s your car dude, it’s about what you think is cool

[@HowToSpec]

Because I’m insecure, basically. But I’m working on it

[@De1h_]

Good points given period I agree 100%

[@salimrandall]

Toyota/Lexus updates do nearly nothing is the opposite end of the spectrum.

[@govinlock8568]

Few reasons why moderns cars sucks: 1. Government regulations: they make regulations that stringent the emission regulations, making the drivetrain and engine more complex and unreliable and safety regulations thar make the car heavier and equipped with complex features. 2. Because of the regulations, manufactures will spend more money regardless they want or not to follow by either spent the money to R&D or to pay penalty. In order to offset this expense, they make the parts unreliable and more expensive than before. 3. Consumers in general also want a vehicle that more comfortable, safer, flashier and easier to drive. This causes the manufactures must earn money elsewhere: spare parts sales. Like the second reason, this cause the unreliable and expensive parts bolted in the car. Unnecessary, shiny new features also caused by consumers that wanted those. The wanted to drive easier also causing the extinction of basic, manual transmission cars.

[@cachememory]

It’s about making money …

[@ennis4417]

That f430 spider you described is literally my dream Ferrari, spwnt hours driving one in that spec in the original test drive unlimited, on another note though you cant really blame manufacturers, its just the way society currently is due to capitalism and prioritizing profit margins for the stock market over the actual quality of their product. Like you alluded to, cars like mercedes used to be "luxury" because of their high build quality and durability, now they're luxury because of their tech features and statistics, its not really the manufacturers fault, thats just what sells, and at the end of the day, they are a business

[@charlesz3]

Without capitalism a ferrari or mercedes wouldnt exist… just drive a red lada like every communist like

[@HowToSpec]

Capitalism isn’t the issue, it’s corporate greed and customers wanting things which make the car worse for us car saddos. But the F430 is so beautiful, I remember as a kid I’d play on some racing game arcade machine which had a scaled down F430 you sit in to play it. Very nostalgic car for me, just praying they stay “cheap” (I know £50-£80k isn’t exactly cheap, but you know what i mean. It’s cheap for a Ferrari and for how good the car is)

[@jordansauced3825]

curious what you think about the eqs

[@jordansauced3825]

ik you mentioned the screens but the car as a whole

[@jordansauced3825]

im also still waiting for every car to have curtain windows and other old luxury vehicles. some shit is just cool. in the future they will sell cheap ppl cheap screens

[@jordansauced3825]

idk maybe the ferrari part just got me upset and now im talking nonsense, still mid video but excited to hear what you think of powertrains

[@HowToSpec]

I adore the hyper screen, I don’t know why. I suppose it’s just Fiat multipla syndrome. It’s so stupid, so ugly that I kind of love it.

[@HodgePodgeLancia]

It’s worth a try, not a fan of the ai voice acting but we can always refund it if it’s not up to par.

[@HowToSpec]

@@HodgePodgeLancia this isn’t AI, I’m actually speaking myself lol

[@HodgePodgeLancia]

@@HowToSpec My bad, I made a playlist queue on mobile and was in the process of commenting on a video before this one. That video ended while I was still able to type out my comment and send it, whilst your video auto played immediately. I had thought my comment made it in the previous video’s section because when I hit the send button, I got the “ comment posted” notification, but now I’m seeing that my comment ended up on the wrong video because it auto played your video next and made it seem like it posted on the previous video. I didn’t even see that my comment ended up on this video at first, which made me further believe that it was sent on the correct video, that being the previous one I had in my playlist. I was referring to Car X Street, saying the game is worth a try but I didn’t like the va in the game. Also we can refund steam games if the purchase isn’t what we thought it was. Sorry this ended up in your section.

[@pedrosilva4342]

if you like the Ferrari get it, fck what ppl thing

[@icemaster-]

I could argue with you all day. New cars are needlessly expensive and you pay for things that are almost completely useless. New cars are much more unreliable than old cars. New cars don't have the capability of old cars, even suvs like the subaru forester doesn't have a hitch and most cars are awd now instead of 4wd. There are no affordable new cars anymore, and the cheapest ones are almost useless. Every new car has an old alternative that is better in every way, yes, even safety and comfort.

[@ISAK.M]

I cant imagine a worse F430 spec and bros channel name is "HowToSpec"?XD

[@HowToSpec]

@@ISAK.M there is no objective good spec. Everyone is open to their interpretation when it comes to design and art

[@youneschergui9938]

2:46 is that a joke? I hope so xd

[@HowToSpec]

No, it’s not. The 991.1 is significantly worse looking than the 991.2. Both inside and out

Fuck dial gear shift or push button gear shift in new cars examples like the new range rover, the new civic and new the Ford expedition like wtf, they are horrendous, Less practical, more prone to problems I don't even know why someone in the car company would think of implementing that bs,its crazy that we are thinking backwards.

[@coluurs5660]

This video seems more like an attempt to make a unique “everybody wrong I’m right” opinion but nothing here makes sense lmao It doesn’t matter what you feel or think, it wasn’t any different back then at all. It was still who could make the best car on the market because that’s what happens when you have capitalism. You can’t pretend that car manufacturers back then somehow held back for the sake of “uhh less tech more reliable.” I don’t get what point you’re trying to make, if you want people to buy your product, your product has to shine and we’re in one of the most competitive industrys in the world. And this less tech bullshit argument about how people don’t want tech, that’s the biggest lie ever told. Imagine buying a new car in 2024 and it doesn’t come with the most basic features like CarPlay, the consumer isn’t gonna want that. If you don’t want tech, buy an old car, that simple. Also you said you wouldn’t buy that Ferrari because you don’t want people thinking you’re buying a budget Ferrari? That sounds like a you problem tbh lmao like what. “Yeah lemmie not buy my dream car because other people no like.” Also you said that for example, a tv in the back is cool but won’t hold value because technology is gonna catch up and every car is gonna have that. THATS LITERALLY THE POINT OF INNOVATION, MAKE EXPENSIVE LUXURY ITEMS CHEAPER, THATS A GOOD THING. And holy shit you did not say the car isn’t gonna hold value, if you buy a car as an investment, you’re a lost cause. All I got from this video is you’re mad at car manufacturers are updating their cars, and want to keep cool tech on expensive cars most can’t afford😂????

[@coluurs5660]

Also to the people who think cars are too expensive now, msrp of 2005 Corolla: 13,780 Msrp of 2024 Corolla: 22,050 13780 in 2005 adjusted for 2024 inflation is equivalent to 22,187 The price of a new Corolla, despite all your whining that tech increased the price sooo much, didn’t even keep up with inflation.

[@waterbnb7204]

90% of 2020s cars (and their successors) are superbly ugly and full of bullsh*t. Yes the interiors' nicer, but thats the only thing i find them good. The.. only.. thing.. and f those digital speedometers

[@Bmontepeque11]

Absolutely, this modern era is ridiculous, I have gotten so tired of this that I am even turned off by cars now, I pretty much only like Toyotas, Hondas and Mazdas. (Of course each one of us has their special brand mine is Lamborghini) but yeah, I just prefer to not think about cars in general because they are so complex, so heavy and so disposable now, I wish we were back in simpler times.

[@Jakoni7]

Cars aren't that complex tho

[@jordansauced3825]

im sorry but this video is verry upsetting. anything can be improved. ferrari makes the best cars they feasibly can and push them further for those who need it. they dont make half baked cars to sell you the rest later, that what modern manufacturers do. these limited edition versions are what they can do with less restraints like time money other numbers. then when drivers want some more they add what they can. you want a perfect car, get one of the big 5.

[@jordansauced3825]

maybe porsche does most of their cars are almost identical and its easy for them to make 100 versions of one car but ferrari makes special editions for the few that need it

[@tudytudy3316]

Mate, every non-car person will be extremly impressed by a ferrari. And you should be buying a car for clout

[@LAJIRAFA66_ALT]

As a car person i'd be pretty impressed regardless, i like the 430 way more than the 458.

[@sasanice7112]

​@@LAJIRAFA66_ALTbut i guess we still can agree that both cars are cool and for sure fun to drive.
