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?

When you say dumb, do you mean like with minimal computers? I think I remember reading about Mercedes or something working on a vehicle that's entirely mechanical with zero computer integration. I imagine it would be pretty expensive though

No way. Anyone have a link? Its gotta at least have electronic fuel injection. A 2025 Benz with a carburetor and old school distributor is not believable.

Mechanical injection diesels could work with no digital computer, but getting one through modern emissions tests in any countries with half a standard should be impossible.
