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.

      Onstar tracks your driving habits and reports the data to insurers, even if you do not have Onstar actrivated.
