There is no doubt, any modern car is a better car than a 30+ year old car. I don't care, I will stick to my 1980s cars and fix what goes wrong and save a ton of money over the cost of a new car.
To define a "fun" car is the challenge. What is fun to some is torture to others. I loved my 1974 914. With just 95 HP I could flog the engine hard, and not be going crazy fast. It was a basic sports car and had poor ventilation in summer and OK heat in the winter, and no creature comforts. It was my only car for only 20 years.
My wife's 2017 Macan is a space ship compared to my old cars. It is quiet, as fast as my 911, and gets better gas mileage. With heated and air conditioned seats, automatic windshield wipers, video cameras in 360 degrees to help in parking, lane assist, blind spot detection and a great sound system it is a great car. I still prefer my 32 year old 362,000 mile El Camino for my daily driver.
