To answer your question - yes and no.

I chose a C5 Corvette over later generations.

All the electronics are GREAT for cross country trips.

Especially the ability to control music que's from the steering wheel.

But now that I work from home most of my trips are because the weather is nice, I roll the windows down, and have some fun.

I do like the advancements of my Jaguar over my older cars. It really eats up the miles on the long haul. A definite plus.

My two favorite modern electronics have been a Toyota Camry and Porsche 911.

I will say that the stability control on the 991 911 impressed me. I never shut it off.

Normally finding how to shut such things off is something I take the time to do.

In the 911 it was making such quick and tiny little inputs to individual corners that it felt like a mind extension.

Especially with patchy gravel, bumps etc. Was impressed.

So personally, I'd take both. A comfortable optioned long range cruiser, and a raw harsher sports car for the short trips.
