That it does. It's all to do with packaging and the constraints of the size of the car. It isn't easy to try and fit all this modern tech into what is a small tin can really. I have very very basic experience with packaging in the obvious things like engine, drivetrain and people. It's surprisingly difficult, and a lot of compromises.
Totally agree though, it's a 'bung it here' attitude, cos it fits. No thought to actual maintenance, apart from charging a massive amount to fix as it takes soooo long to fix. It's all a conspiracy, that's how they make money!!
So Jim, a doggy hey. That will keep you even fitter having to walk it twice a day. Great stuff.
Here's a funny thing I read yesterday in the paper. Talking about bad cars, a chap bought a new Austin Ambassador, must have been early 80's. Apart from the obvious, rust, generally crap ect, when driving over 60 mph, the padded dash would blow up and cause an air bubble. So at least we don't have to contend with inflating dashboards!! ...... Unless the airbags go off.
