>very hard to find good examples
>people will think you are a hipster
post-2005
>astronomical maintenance costs
>every car looks like a bar of soap
>electric power steering
>more expensive to buy
>everyone knows you're an unimaginative faggot
>every car tends to be a bloated barge
>mass produced trash with no attention to quality
>more difficult to find a manual transmission
1995-2005 is literally the apex of automotive design, it is the god zone. Cars made a great leap forward into much better reliability, increased power, much improved fuel economy, safety, aesthetics and so much more. The period after it is ruined by stricter emissions controls resulting in retardedly complex engines, every car needing unnecessary shit like bluetooth or massaging seats, and retarded safety laws making cars weigh nine billion tonnes and look like shit.
If you own a car made outside of the god zone, you are basically a total fucking moron.

92 should be the start of the God zone. Thats when eg civics were first introduced. 92-95 civics are god tier

You know, usually when people make these claims I will disagree just to shitpost, but I actually agree with what you said. It was just a good period for cars
