Concur completely with Ron.
"Brilliantly simple; no logic, microswitch, wiring or "why won't it start?" moments. It wasn't sexy enough to feature in a sales brochure, presumably, so was replaced by all the gubbins that strands you instead."
Its getting worse as well. Heard so many tales recently of problems with very expensive cars. And its all arranged for maximum expense. You cant even change a headlight in some cars without plugging into a main dealers system to have the part identified and released in the ECU. They say its to protect the consumer from fraudulent parts.
The problem with it all is age. Only a few manufacturers seem to be able to make electronics that last (oddly enough considering your comment, Honda seems to be one of the best !)
My current car is 2008, just before the worst of it came in, electronic handbrakes and the like. I am hoping to nurse it through until I am 80. If I'm still driving I'll look for a classic car with brakes.
