You've got to be joking. Whether you decide electronics in your car are distractions is completely up to you, here's a thought: Learn how to use them while parked instead of speeding down the freeway and then it might not be such a nerve-racking experience.
As for build quality, this is a common misconception. It's true that older cars can seem to be built like tanks compared to newer ones which crumple up far more easily. There is a reason for this. When you are in an accident, a car with specially designed crumple zones (which by law is most cars today) will allow the energy of the collision to be channeled around you through the car instead of straight to you where you'll have a higher chance of dying.
The result of this? Your car looks like a completely piece of -blam!- after crashing into a tree, but you're alive. As opposed to what happens in some older cars where only the front is dented in a bit but you've been thrown into the windshield with your skull cracked.
