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?

Subaru Crosstrek remains about as analog as a car can be these days. Otherwise, you have to get a Chevrolet pickup truck or something.

I have one. It's great, but I wouldn't consider it a "dumb" car, just by Starlink alone. OP can probably opt to bypass it (there are tools out there to completely disconnect it from the infotainment system). That aside, it has a TON of tech on it that can only be controlled via the computer system, which OP wants to avoid.

Depends which one you buy. I have a manual transmission Crosstrek, so no starlink and no eyesight.

Yeah, but all Subaru's are now coming with cvt transmission and there have been some negative news concerning the durability of cvt transmissions in general
