Are there any car experts on this forum? Or anyone who knows about cars?
My current car is now well over thirty years old (in fact i think in a few years it will reach fourty years old) and it is in a terrible state and really needs replacing. I have used it every day since i bought it brand new over well over thirty years ago and it is so worn out now and constantly develops issues and i have to take it to the garage all the time. So i am now looking for a brand new car to buy.
However the thing that puts me off is that i do not like any of these modern cars. They are to complicating and have too many features and controls and touchscreens and electrics and automated driving and all other sorts of things that cars never used to have. My current car is so basic and simple. Cars these days are just too complicating.
So my question is which brand new car is the most basic simple car i can buy. I want a brand new car but preferably i want it to be as basic and simple as possible with the absolute minimal amount of features and controls with none of these touchscreens or lots of added features or any unnecessary things. I am basically looking for the most basic simple brand new car that is sold nowadays.
It needs to be a manual transmission. I need it to be a petrol or diesel as i do not really want to switch an electric car yet. And i most certainly do not want any car that is capable of driving automatically. I do not trust any automated cars like these Tesla i think they are called or anything like that.
So can anyone give me any recommendations? Is anyone on here good with cars? What is the most basic simple cars that you can buy these days? Any help or recommendations would be great to hear as i am no expert when it comes to cars?
