Is driving harder than it was, less enjoyable, slower, more expensive?
It is probably easier as the cars tend to just work these days and are generally easier to drive (better brakes, power steering, air con etc,.)
It is much less enjoyable than it was 25 years ago to the point where I have gone from owning cars that were made for speed and handling to a car that is make for economy as there is no point having a car whose capabilities you can never use
It is a lot slower as much more traffic than 25 years ago
It is probably cheaper for me as I am older so insurance is cheap, cars are more economical for same type of car and petrol was never cheap even 25 years ago.
