Newer cars are better in every way on paper, however there is something I think they are missing: passion.
I don't care how harder they accelerate or how faster they take corners, most of the time I'm not racing against someone else and the only thing I can judge driving them is the pleasure they gave me, how entertained I am.
Perhaps oldies are more dangerous to drive, thus giving more adrenaline. Maybe the smell form their engine or exhaust strenghten the feeling of driving a car rather than cruising or even worst: being driven by the car.
Anyway my heart ticked much faster and stronger while driving oldies than sterilized modern cars, and this is what matters for me.
Listing the cars that helps your decision for this poll would be a must, for me they are:
'89 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9
'86 BMW 325i Sport
'89 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
P.S.: I don't consider track day cars or supercars while saying that.
