I do like electric windows, but I have had to work on several of them when they quit working. Have to admit that never happened with the roll-up windows. And I have gotten locked out of both vehicles when the keys and fob were left inside and the doors locked by themselves. Just got the spare keys, but could have been a real pain if it had happened somewhere out and about. Some things are likeable and not bad if they malfunction, but also unnecessary and mostly a marketing hook.
Some of these cars could be a real headache trying to get out of in case of an accident and the battery malfunctions. No electric door unlocks, no electric windows open. Yeah, it doesn't happen often, but it can. I still like KISS. But I like fuel injection too.
I just don't like complexity for its own sake. Like those wonderful touch screens you have to flip through to get to the radio controls. No thanks. Looks cool, but definitely not sensible.
I guess it's because I keep a vehicle for 15-20 years, and not trade them off before there are electronic issues. I can't imagine some of the problems there are going to be troubleshooting these vehicles when they hit 15-20 years old. My motorcycle is a 1999, one truck is a 2001, and one is a 2003. Our newest vehicle is a tossup between Peggy's 2014 scooter, and our 2013 sedan. None of them bought new, but don't owe a dime on any of them. That's their best feature.
