    and that's why I dont want to buy a modern car (2010+)

    too much going on. old cars are so much simpler. what's the ac set to? cold. Bluetooth? cables are so much more reliable

      New cars have all sorts of privacy issues too. I think it was the Mozilla foundation that released a report recently that claimed every single modern electric car harvests as much data as they can about their users and sells it.

      I have a 2017 Nissan versa and it's like a fleet trim or something. No power anything (locks or windows) no computer touch screen system, not even a chipped key! Manual transmission and gets almost 40mpg. What you want is out there, it's just hard to find because the car manufacturers won't make as much margin on them.

      my 02 model has automated climate controls and I'll be damned if I would ever go back to a manual dial
