That sorta depends on how you define "computer". I actually wish my camry HAD a computer (Like maybe wifi or 3G access to check my email and sync with my home computer).

The ECM in cars I had from the late 80's is a "computer". My new Camry surely has A LOT more electronics in it then those cars, but I doubt you can buy a car that was made after 1980 that doesnt have a "computer" of some sort. That being said, I have rebuilt engines in 3 different cars and I also fixed about 5000 different computer problems for people, but I still trust electronics over mechanics any day!

No offense at all, but I think most people that say they hate all these "computers" in newer cars are probably all over 40-50 years old. I would be amazed to hear someone under 25 saying anything like that, mainly because they grew up around computers and hi-tech electronics. I am going to be 31 years old in 5 days, but I am a huge electronics geek/nerd. Probably why I wish there were MORE electronics in my car!!
LOL This is just my opinion, I could be WAY wrong in my super electronics loving nerd thinking though!
