You might be thinking about buying an older car as a way to avoid having to deal with some of the things that come with new cars, like it or not \u2013 and want it or not \u2013 including can\u2019t-fix-it-yourself technology and the run-amokness of peremptory\/busybody\/Big Brothery technology.<\/p>\n

For some, it\u2019s getting to be Too Much \u2013 and not just in terms of\u00a0cost<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But \u2013\u00a0how<\/i>\u00a0old do you have to go to avoid that stuff? And how old is\u00a0too old<\/i>? The answer depends on how much modern stuff you\u2019d like to avoid \u2013 and how much modern stuff (which isn\u2019t\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0bad stuff) you\u2019d like to have.<\/p>\n

If you want to avoid direct injected engines, over-complex (and expensive) transmissions, micro-sized\/turbo-boosted engines, auto-stop\/start and the naggiest\/pushiest driver \u201cassist\u201d technologies such as Lane Keep Assist and Automated Emergency Braking, you\u2019ll want to go back to about 2014 or earlier.<\/p>\n

Anything made before 2010 ought to be free of\u00a0most<\/em>\u00a0if not all these things.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0would you want to be free of them?<\/p>\n

Direct injection:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may want to avoid DI \u2013 which is replacing port fuel injection \u2013 if you want to avoid problems with carbon build-up on the backsides of you engine\u2019s intake valves. This is a hidden problem not many outside of the car business know about . . .\u00a0for now<\/em>.

In the years ahead \u2013 as the problem grows \u2013 more will know about it.<\/p>\n

Direct injection shoots fuel directly into the engine\u2019s cylinders; PFI sprays it above the cylinder, just behind the intake valves. Gas is a\u00a0solvent<\/em>\u00a0as well as a\u00a0fuel<\/em>. The solvent action of the gas washing over the back of the valves helps prevent carbon (from combustion)\u00a0…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
