My 1963 CORVAIR never had a knock sensor, and ran for years cheaply. These are "designed in" expenses the buyer isnt aware of until after the purchase.:-\

1963 was many years before the Clean Air Act, the Arab Oil Embargo, CAFE standards, etc, etc, etc. Automakers are fighting an ongoing battle to build vehicles that meet increasingly stringent US safety, mileage, and emissions requirements and still perform reasonably well. As a result, cost and complexity are constantly increasing.
