He’s right. If you enjoy the act of driving, most modern cars are terrible. They are just way better in many other respects, most notably (in the best case) not burning gas. I love driving and don’t want to get rid of my Miata, but I am in the process of getting my motorcycle license and an electric motorcycle for most of my travel because I can’t justify burning gas regularly. It makes me sad, but the Miata will become a very occasional pleasure vehicle.

Edit: curious about the downvotes, do people think new cars drive well? There are a few examples (86/brz comes to mind), but most are big and heavy, and with electronic steering, little connection to the road.
