  • Why I Don't Own a Modern Car (and Why You Shouldn't Either) - Ep. 5

    Why I Don't Own a Modern Car (and Why You Shouldn't Either) - Ep. 5
    Dec 22 2025
    In this episode of Automotive Icons, James Reeves dives deep into his "no modern cars" philosophy. While 2000 might feel like yesterday, it’s officially 25 years ago—and James argues that cars from the late '90s and early 2000s are actually the "sweet spot" for daily drivers. From his beloved Toyota Crown Royal Saloon G to the "trough" of car valuation, James breaks down why opting for soul and simplicity over touchscreens and warranties is a winning move for your wallet and your sanity. The "Soul" Factor: Why modern cars feel like tablets on wheels and why physical buttons still reign supreme. Reliability vs. Predictability: Why an older car with a known track record is often a safer bet than a brand-new model with "beta-test" software. The $32,000 Difference: A look at the financial freedom of driving an $8,000 imported classic versus a $40,000 depreciating asset. Maintenance Myths: Debunking the fear of parts availability and why "serviceability" is better in the '90s. The Trough of Coolness: How cars age out of being "used" and into being "classic icons." Are you a "Hell yeah, brother" listener or do you need that 2025 warranty? Let us know in the comments!
