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?

Yeah it seems all cars share data now according to that report :(

Just gotta get an older dumb car that's reliable (like Toyota or Lexus) or maybe you can remove the modem from the car.

Edit: after some quick googling you can remove the fuses on some cars to disable the wireless connectivity but that's on a case by case basis.
