Exactly. I'm keeping my 2010 Mazda 3 for as long as I can for that exact reason. I barely use it anyway. Bought new in late 2009 and it only has 130 000 km on it.
I essentially use it for groceries, and occasionally for visiting friends and family who live outside of town.
New cars have all these bright tablet screens to control everything and it's a nightmare when driving. You have to focus on the screen all the time to press buttons. It's super dangerous.
Meanwhile, my car has only physical knobs and buttons that I can reach with muscle memory without even looking. The Bluetooth for my phone with integrated voice commands is a nice feature though.
