Nice article but I'm not much into Saab styling but I wouldn't mind renting a classic MG-A or MG-B for a summer trip. For a daily driver, I like my Tesla Model 3, styling and its performance and control are great in my opinion.
I have a 1977 MGB and a 2005 MG TF. I still prefer the MGB; its easy to drive, cheap to maintain (relative to buying any new car today), and you have the added benefit of being able to fix things yourself (if you're so inclined) with part availability still reasonably good after all these years (and I am by no means an actual mechanic).
I've already encountered issues with the MG TF regarding the electronics, and the difficulty in fixing things there due to proprietary lock-in (and it's 17 years old). Simply creating a spare key is a nightmare. It makes me wonder what the future of repairability on newer cars with deeply embedded but proprietary software will be like.
My Model 3 changed my opinion entirely on cars... the more I drive it the more I love it.
I was weary of moving to an electric drive chain and a car I can't maintain myself (my previous Mitsubishi could be serviced with scant more than a 10mm socket and an impact driver) and wasn't sure about losing almost all physical controls -- the only thing that annoys me is there is no easy way to open the glovebox, for everything else the touch screen actually seems easier than my previous physical controls.
