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?

While you "can" strip computer systems off a car... It is not recommended, for you never know the underlying impact (interms of interconnectedness) what you are removing has to the crucial driving routines..

I mean, you might unplug the heating of your car seat, and turns out the car thinks you have no seat... That sorta thing...

Edit: Unless the hacks are made public (of which are barely available, since they are a part of companys' trade secrets, someone's butt will get a proper suing for this) Just avoid them completely if you can.
