Are cars nowadays better than cars of the past?

I've read that many 70's and 80's cars for example were pretty bad as far as quality goes (in America at least), but they were a lot easier to repair and maintain.

It just depends on what you want. Cars now are like mini computers and have way more safety/entertainment/comforts built-in. In turn, they are going to be harder to maintain and have more parts/things that can go wrong. Cars back there were more basic.
