Well, except that now they often go to 200 or 300K without major work, allow occupants to survive incredible crashes, rarely need tuneups, accelerate like crazy, handle so much better, can start and drive off in the cold etc etc.
And I think the gas mileage people recall is a little bit optimistic, I've got all kinds of old magazines that listed the new tested mileages and they never match up to what people post here.
I love the simplicity of old vehicles but there are a lot of things I don't miss. I'd say the best spot maintenance wise for a lot of brands was early 90's. TBI had eliminated a hundred feet of vaccum tubing. Most had no air pump, the computer had maybe 5 sensors and the engine compartments were clean. Computer only ran the engine.
By mid 90's we were back into a mess of vaccum circuits, computers with dozens of sensors and a mass of wiring, and it ran a dozen other things. What a nightmare to diagnose!
