The biggest reason to get a newer car is the safety features (back up cameras, audible warnings, brake assist, etc.). I had my previous car for over 15 years and the new features were a huge upgrade.

Going on ten years on my current one, and seeing how much safety and tech has improved since then gets me wanting a new one.

But yeah, if you don't drive often, then it might not matter much.
