If the car isn't a daily driver, that's part of the appeal in my opinion. When you jump back in a Falcon, even the newest of them, it's actually quite refreshing.

The lack of tech means you aren't distracted, no 14 different throttle/suspension/gearbox settings, no flashing lights to inform the driver to stay awake, no stop-start......................you just get in, turn the key and drive.

As someone with the latest Mustang, it's certainly fun to play around with the endless combinations of drive mode settings, gauge cluster layout, multiple interior lighting colours, steering feel, exhaust modes ect. But team all of that with the stupid ADAS systems, the car is extremely easy to get distracted while driving, and that's not a good thing.
