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?

    2018 Subaru Forester

    It might be a bit more updated than most, but in general less smart than most cars today.

    • Still have to press a button on the key to unlock the doors, or use the convenient key.
    • Need to put the key into the ignition to start.
    • Doors do not automatically lock out unlock.
    • Manual parking break.
    • Rear door is 100% manual (if you didn’t count un/lock with key fob).
    • Basic Bluetooth functionality.
    • Equipped with OnStar, and Sirius.
    • Shipped with 3G cellular, which no longer works. They do offer a free upgrade, I never bothered.

    By my own assessment, it’s the dumbest modern car you can get.
