What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Can you clarify exactly what you mean by a "dumb car"? Do you just mean that it doesn't have a screen in the cockpit? Or something else?

Internet connected (smart) or non-internet connected (dumb). At least that’s what this phrase means with all other context.

[–] tko@tkohhh.social 1 points 8 months ago

Understood, but OP mentioned that he wanted something without a backup camera, so that's why I was asking for clarification.

Not OP, but my most recent car is a 2016 Hyundai Accent, and I think it's perfect. The doors and ignition operate with physical keys, the displays are all physical indicators directly behind the wheel, all the controls have tactile, physical buttons instead of a touchscreen, no infotainment system, and no subscription options.

I don't think I'd ever want a car more "smart" than that, but I'm not sure such a thing even exists anymore.

My 2016 Audi A3 is also very analog/dumb and it's perfect. Physical controls for everything, seemingly no privacy concerns, and I easily added a module for Android Auto/Apple Car play to it.
