Old Cars vs. New Cars: Are We Being Fooled?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Are new cars really better, or are we just falling for clever marketing? In this video, I take my Porsche 964 for a drive through the stunning roads of the South of France to break down why modern cars have lost their soul. From overcomplicated tech to soulless driving experiences, I'll explain why older cars might just be the smarter (and more fun) choice.
I will answer the following questions:
🔹 Are EVs really the future? 🚘💨
🔹 Why modern cars feel lifeless 😴
🔹 Marketing tricks automakers use to sell cars 💰
🔹 The problem with leasing and depreciation 📉
🔹 The joy of driving a true analog machine 🏎️💨

you are my automotive spirit "animal" dude; the "only" difference is that you have two cool 911s and live in driving heaven land but, we do share the same perspective of what we are living, from an automotive pov.
I appreciate it mate!
When someone will ask me why i don't want to switch to ev, i will show them this. Hope one day i will have a chance to afford one of these beauties and in that case see you in Italy.
Oh man…FINALLY someone talks about this!
Happy to hear this!
Cars from 1990’s up to 2017 is the golden era, and I love!! The downsized engines, turbos, and especially batteries, and quiet exhausts are such a turn off!!
Totally agree man, great insight and perspective! My wife and I got a 2014 Toyota 4Runner a few years ago; and feel like it’s kind of the sweet-spot of modern safety and comfort, but with old reliable mechanics and good design. We plan to have this vehicle for years and years, but the next vehicle we purchase down the road will be something older.
Finally someone that talks about this! The car manufacturers have to wake up. We don´t want UFOs that drive by themselves with touchscreens and displays, we want cars for enthusiasts with a soul.
enthusiasts are just a fraction of the market though. we are not normal.
Agree. Modern tires are the key. They gave the fully independent suspension and all-around disc brakes the advantage in the mid/late 1960's. Then came electronic motor management in the 1990's, giving us limitless (in public road use terms) power. And finally 3D CAE, bringing NVH perfection. And post the generation that came out around 2010 everything was dominated by bureaucracy, and not by engineering. 2013/14 is the cut-off date, with post-CV19 cars being the worst.
Fantastic message: keep up the good work!
🙌🏻
I drive a 993 carrera cab and a 992 gt3 so always looking forward to your videos from Chicago!
Totally agree on all the topics you spoke about !
🙌🏻
Couldn't agree more! Going to drive my 964 now …
Ha cool! Enjoy it! 😎
Love to see the real “you” through you - sharing honest thoughts and vision ❤️👌🏻
❤️❤️❤️
beauty in simplicity
newer cars over engineered and bloated with useless features
100% in with you on this one
Owned a 964C2man for 13years, one of the best ever. Then my absolute favourite, 993turbo, 10yrs. Now GT4 and GT3, great cars but lack serious soul and driver engagement on the road (note, not on track, magnificent!).
Congrats on your line up today! Pure fire! I mean those 2 is the maximum soul and engagement you get out of a modern car 😅
I could´t agree more. Take the new Audi S5 which is an other bad example……
U are spot on!
Alex, your first statement in this video totally nails it.
Who’s alex ?
@ That was a typo. Sorry for that, Misha.
I totally agree!
hi Misha! thanks for the video. would also love to see a video on your experience living year-round in the south of france. we’re considering moving there, but not sure how’s life in the off-season :)
Sounds like some lifestyle content 😉 think everyone on the channel will appreciate ? I am down
The new M2 is garbage for me.
Thank you for the vidéo, specially your authenticity. 👍
🙌🏻
So true. All the touchscreens and new technology are just more distracting and you lose the emotion and connection to the car. The best driver's cars have already been built. And the new car prices are just getting insane for what you get
Please do a tour with an e92 m3 on these south roads and compare it to your g87 m2
Uhhh that would be a cool comparison video! If someone with a E92 M3 in the south of france is watching this, hit me up, we have a cool video idea 😎
Seems like the newer performance cars are made more for straight lines rather than curves. If you look at the new 992.2 Turbo S stats that is supposed to come out soon - 1.7 Seconds to 100kmh on street conditions.
I actually want to make a video on that topic, is how much hp do we really need in Supercars today. Because I am not too sure where you can put use to all those crazy numbers.
Very great job man! Have you tried to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork please? It could be so great to watch your foot skills for next videos! ;)
Good idea, for next one
@@MishaonWheels Oh thanks man! ;)
I apsolutely agree with you
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Je pense que tu étais aussi heureux il y a 7 mois dans la SPECTRE R.R. que là dans cette Porsche d’ancienne génération..Les plaisirs sont certes totalement différents mais bien présents pour faire Montreux…MC….Merci pour cette dernière vidéo …👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
daily driving my Peugeot 406 :)
Won’t be surprised if those gain value some time soon 😉
@@MishaonWheels i hope so.
Classic porsches in my country costs like 100k and more. Crazy
Why do you have the new m2 if you know the old one is as good but surely cheaper?
Good question! Thank you! Unfortunately some types of people who buy f87’s drive them like there is no tomorrow, therefore have created a very poor image of anyone who drives one. Then they are poorly tuned which makes it even worse, and to find one today that hasn’t been drifted around parking lots is tricky.
Hope I answered your question’
My dream is to switch to a 1M 🤫
Same same could not agree more. Most new stuff absolutely boring. 964s are just awesome. The price tells the story.
G87 M2 is the best modern M car BMW has made. True M engine, lightweight with the carbon package and manual, carbon bucket seats so good Porsche copied them. Future classic
Really what about F90, E92, 1M!? I agree the buckets look sick!
@@MishaonWheelsthese are all good old cars. If you are a young man that wants to own and grow with a future classic BMW, the G87 M2 with the carbon package is the way to go. Build your own myth. Keep up the good work! Great videos mate
I also don’t get the point of brand new cars, practically a money grab
Modern cars are extremely expensive disposable movable iPads. Seriously the amount of gimmicks huge dangerously reflective screens and very difficult to use UI and ultra complicating emission things bolted to engine and so on .. all of theese thing took away the personality and character and most importantly ( reliability) ,, just look how new toyota are built :(
I just want a new car with analog gauges real hand break and no screen bolted to the dash:/
Well said! 🙌🏻
EV market is dead. YES! Let's not cater to the climate hysterics. There is no crisis! Keep driving ICE!
Great topic which is indeed neglected by most.
100% we need more people to talk about it !
Its interesting that you criticize the way cars are marketed and then talk about the lack of soul while driving a Porsche. A company that in my opinion has a PHD in marketing the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). Where the only good Porsche is your next new Porsche. The old car that you are driving for some, if anything goes wrong with it can set you back so financially that you will regret the purchase. All of what you say isn't consistent with the image of you in your previous video driving a newer Porsche.
