100% agreed.
My Kia was back in the garage at 700 miles on the clock (yes 700) and needed a new throttle pedal. Was hunting horrendously because of a bad pedal. For something that is essentially a plastic hinge on a variable resistor, how much do you reckon it cost to be fixed? £850. Two points there. firstly, modern cars are NOT more reliable and they are just more expensive. I would never own a new car and i know the government is trying to squeeze out these old polluting cars but they are such more fun!
