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?

    Is 2002 recent? Still loving my vintage wrx.

    When the wheels fall off I’d like to go with something electric, but those tend to be phones with wheels. Maybe a used volt?

      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.
