My habit is to buy a new car about every four or five years, make all the changes I want to by accessorising it etc, and then replace it. I have several cars and don't drive as much as I used to so I insure each car on the basis of driving it
for no more than 2000 miles per annum.
After several years of Porsche 911 ownership, my last two cars have been Aston
Martins. It has been noticeable that each change of car has been accompanied by more and more issues to deal with. These relate mainly to technical advances, but latterly have included matters such as extended warranties,
Tracker device fitment etc.
Because of a growing family, I have recently had to change from Aston Martin
to Bentley. The "issues" attending this car are vast in number and quite mind boggling. Of course, the car is perfect, as one would expect from a new Bentley,
but the technical complexities are overwhelming
Putting to oneside the fact that the car comes with a Bentley battery charger,
but not a battery conditioner, a device which is very necessary due to my using the car infrequently, it has keyless entry. This is all very well and permits one to enter and start the car without use of a key, but not if, between the driver and the passenger, both parties are carrying all three keys ( a situation that is not unlikely ).
What I am complaining about is that by all means, of course, continue to advance vehicle development technically since to do otherwise would be utterly idiotic, but at the same time continue to contrive to make them SIMPLER at the same time !
