I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She’s been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won’t last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?
Your best bet would be to go for something used in good condition before 2014 that’s when cars started being internet connected and having controls being software buttons in screens and the like. If you have a bunch of money you could try to import something but the 25 year rule is an issue if you live in the US
I was going to cut off at 2014 as well. I have a manul transmission '14 Subaru and even with all the whistles it has no touch screen, back up camera, etc.
1996 is when US cars standardized on OBD2 computers due to emissions, so to find a truly dumb car you’d have to go earlier than that.
