I've seen a lot of complaints of the new tek vehicles having issues with, well the newtek. Various control modules causing failures that are costly. Sometimes even requiring the owner to bring the car in to be exchanged before the dealer warranty expires. This speaks volumes per the dealer warranty because usually the design spec is to outlast that warranty. If these failures are indeed common then I see it being more trouble.
The biggest thing I worry about is actually safety. Newer vehicles have a lot more going for them in terms of crash tolerance and protecting the driver than say something built in the 90s. You're going to have multiple airbag systems and larger crumple zones simply because of the CAFE standards.
