    Absolutely. A manual, simple 4 cylinder would be great.

    But that doesn’t have telemetry they can sell, features you have to subscribe to, and branded trim levels you have to pay extra to get.

        You will have few to no choices then. Telemetry or “black box” is in pretty much every single modern vehicle. Subscriptions to Sirius, Spotify, or your heated seat (fuck you BMW) are the norm or trying to be so. A la carte options died decades ago, and then they killed the manual transmission even in halo cars.

        I feel ya, man. This is some bullshit. The only choice is to build your own car or try to keep an old one alive.
