Not as reliable anymore. Just watched a pine hallow automotive video where he diag a 2019 jeep Rubicon with a bad cam at 70k and they can't get a replacement for it. Chrysler /Stellantis are the worst. Even Toyota has engine recalls.
Your probably right, 2019 is right around the cut-off when electronic shit started completely overtaking the last 75 years of car improvments. I was given a loaner recently while recall work was being done (Subaru) and the loaner car just felt wrong. Tactile feedback is very important because if your flipping through touch screen menus, your not looking at the road.
It's funny but I think you nailed the timeline on the head. I got a 2019 corolla (it's a manual and it doesn't need a key!) and all I had to do to get it off the internet was pull a single fuse and reroute a speaker wire. The controls are actually a pretty good mix of physical and touch too.
It used to have support for showing maps on the head unit, but that never worked reliably and required special software that has been discontinued. I tried manual updating the software and that feature is gone gone.
I have actually rented a couple corollas since then, and they've all been disappointingly worse as far as everything about them is concerned.
