This is also the reason why I prefer older cars and dont really like the new ones. The new cars are overloaded with electronical shit ( I say that while I study IT) that it's impossible to fix them on your own. And most sport cars are really stuffed with them that it doesnt really seem like a challenge to drive them because if your car skids will automaticly correct itself. And it's even worse if you cannot disable that .. This obviously has a physical limit which I feel like many people dont really have a sense for. They trust their new car too much: "Oh it has ESP, I can go into that corner really fast my car will solve that problem".
I even disabled the Anti Blocking System on my new car with a hidden switch because I want to drive it barebone. I am obviously influenced by my dad who is rebuilding classic cars in which you can be happy to have power steering, but you really have an extremly good sense of what the car is actually doing. When I drive a new car it feels like I am just telling it where I want to go and the car does it, but there is no REAL feedback. I know stuff like ESP is useful for " not so experienced drivers" but for me I like the "real" experience, all I consider useful is power steering because I am not working out
