My old Honda just won't die. I get an oil change every once in a while. And the battery has crapped out a few times in the last decade but that's it. I hear safety features have come a long way so maybe I should upgrade just for that. I get the feeling that I'll certainly miss the old Honda so I'm dragging my feet.

As somebody that currently owns a newer Honda and a 20+ year old one, its a mixed bag.

Yes, the safety features are nice (my car will alert me if it detects I need to break before I do). Yes, the convenience features are nice (I never have to worry about headlights on or off and "follow" cruise control is a must on road trips). I also love the electric transmission since I have a hybrid that give me instant power like having a turbo.

But I miss having a temperature gauge (the car will tell me when its overheating I presume). I also hate that the car reports in on my personal data and sells it to other companies.

Hondas recent merger with Nissan will probably make them worse too. So there's that. I'm guessing next car I buy will be Toyota.
