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?

    Hey if it still runs and they were readily available. In terms of recent I was talking newer than my car, old enough not to have a computer system or backup lights.

      Every car you could buy in the past 20 (probably 30) years had a computer system, because you can’t meet emissions regulations without fuel injection.
      In Europe, the Dacia Sandero base model is a car that literally only comes with what’s needed to drive or mandated by law.
      The previous generation was still available with wind-up windows, no power steering and no radio.

      I don’t know about any offerings in the US market.

        I think OP is probably thinking of the kind of car computers that require you to use a touchscreen to control the windshield wipers, or turn off heated seats if you haven’t paid your monthly rental fee. Not a car built entirely without microchips.
