I had a 2003 Camry. I recently bought a 2nd hand 2014 Camry. I have not done any research, but I swear that the car is magically doing things for me.
Eg.
When the parking break was on and you forgot and tried to drive, the 2003 had some resistance. On the 2014, it seems that it disengages the brake for you if you are not in Park. Which can be annoying if you have to stop on an incline with traffic.
It also seems to regulate your speed in very wet conditions. On a straight road, in moderate rain, it definitely feels like I need to push the accelerator down more to get up to speed.
I admit the 2014 model is nicer to drive, but I don't know what will happen if the electronics get fried.
