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.

Overall, yes- but they're generally smaller, uglier and pricier.

@SnowBlack The price of a good used car is ridiculous nowadays.

@SubstantialKick right now that is because of the shortage of new cars being produced. That shortage has been cause by various Covid shut downs and a factory fire at the major chip fabrication plant in Japan that supplies the entire auto industry with computer
Chips for all vehicle computing parts from engine management to car navigation.

@SubstantialKick expect production of née cars to be down by half world wide for the next 1-2 years.
