My current car is old. I had a lot of repairs done on it recently. If I get a new car, I don’t want features. Lane assist, backup camera, DUI Camera, telemetry, auto breaking or other frankly silly features. Call me grumpy, but I find modern cars very distracting.

Can I ask a dealership to disable these at purchase? Is there a car that works best for being private besides just older cars?

I drive very little in a year. No, I can’t ride a bike.

    Well damn.

    Not that I’m planning to replace my car anytime soon, but it’s sad to hear the build quality’s gotten worse.

      I’ve owned and driven multiple Hondas from those decades and still have an 00 model today as well as a modern model.

      I don’t disagree with the prior comment, it is true. But at the same time its only part of the entire picture. My new model drives so much better. Engine is smoother, it handles better, it’s more comfortable etc… So take it all with a grain of salt. There’s a flip side to every coin.
