I don't like electric windows, either. They like to fail in the rain, and are expensive to repair.

Manual windows roll up and down for decade after decade...

Electric door locks are bad, too. After a while, they won't lock or unlock.

I've owned dozens of vehicles and I've only had locks or windows fail on one of them -- and both failed on this vehicle: It was a Ford with manual locks and windows. Turns out if you design something poorly enough even mechanical parts can fail. Point being: quality of construction matters more to reliability than anything else.
