I presume you mean you sold it on in 2019 and not that your 2015 car lasted 4 years, as that would not be an example I'd hold up for the quality of today's cars.

I'm not surprised that a 2015 Mazda is a decent car. Mazda make good cars. But I'm speaking of cars made today. 2015 was almost 10 years ago. Cars have only gotten more complicated and less repairable since then.

Yeah wires and vacuum hoses look messy. But you can replace a vacuum hose by cutting a new piece to length with a pair of scissors. Good luck in a modern car when that same function is a digital signal in a circuit board.

Again, citation needed. I simply do not believe you. Outside of EV powertrains, car design has not changed much in 10 years.

Digital signals on circuit boards don't just "go bad" from old age. Vacuum hoses develop leaks all the time when the rubber gets old.
