Well not really surprising, a late 2000’s car has pretty much all the comfort and the important safety features a modern car has.
This wasn’t really the case with late 80’s and early 90’s cars in the late and mid 2000’s…
Aircon, airbags, ABS, power steering and heck even decent multimedia features all became quite standard pretty darn fast.
Other than the lack large LCD screens in the dashboard you can’t really tell if a car is from 2008 or 2018 even the shape is nearly the same because the same design language is used and we have optimized the form as much as possible from a fuel consumption perspective.
