Things We Miss In New Cars

Technology has come a long way, and some say for the better, but is it true? In the motor world there are controversies about it because there are certain elements that we miss in the new cars that the old ones did have and that we adored. Nostalgia is sure to knock on your door when you read this article.

Some of these have already disappeared altogether, while others are in danger of extinction. Soon many elements and concepts that we related to the use of a vehicle will be left behind, for better or worse? Time will tell…

Various elements that we miss in new cars

Keys

More and more cars are started and started with fingerprints or a card. Only more ‘low-end’ cars or those that are a bit more outdated carry a key. That, even so, today’s keys have nothing to do with the ones we knew as children.

In fact, even buttons and cards will soon go out of style, as sensors are being integrated with which the car detects the presence of the driver and starts by themselves. Key, how much we will miss you …

Hand brake

Something very similar will happen very soon with the handbrakes. They are already being replaced in many models with a button that only needs to be pressed once to brake and once to deactivate it.

We understand that this seems like an unnecessary change to the most nostalgic, but why fool ourselves, this little button is much more practical than the lever of a lifetime. Or not?

Spare wheel

That wheel without rims or hubcaps that was narrower than usual, how much we will miss it! It may surprise you to know that it is disappearing from many new vehicles and you wonder what you will do if you have a puncture on the road. Very easy, your car will come equipped with an anti puncture kit so that you can repair the punctured tire yourself.

Its use is very simple and the effect is the same as what they could do in the workshop, so not only will you save yourself staining your hands with grease, but you will save money.

Buttons

Although older cars did not have them, a little over a decade ago, cars began to come equipped with dozens of buttons that were used to control the air, search for stations, activate or deactivate different driving tasks, etc.

By day, these buttons are almost disappearing as touchscreens are entering the market by leaps and bounds. Everything seems tactile in a world where technology begins to dominate the world. Will it be better than the buttons of a lifetime? Once again: time will tell.

Oil dipstick

Looking at the oil level had become almost a psychological vice. The act of taking it out, cleaning it with a paper and putting it back in, was more necessary than even looking at the fuel level itself.

Well, we can say goodbye forever, since almost no recent models carry it. Instead they come standard with various sensors that will determine when the level is insufficient.

Portable gps

Do you remember when car houses offered you deals on a car with which they gave you a GPS? Well, if you did not take advantage of it at the time, you will never be able to do it again. Between the fact that the touch screens of many models already have them integrated, and the increasingly say that they give us on our phones, these are no longer necessary.

Rear view mirrors

Are you unable to imagine a car without rear view mirrors? Well, start doing it, because soon, this will be one of the elements that we miss in new cars. They will be replaced by small cameras that will be integrated into the sides of the interior of the car and that will allow a real, clear and wide view of what is happening behind the vehicle. Incredible where technology takes us …

Did you already know the elements that we miss in new cars? Sure, like us, some of them have surprised you. The world advances, and our beloved cars with it.
