Is 2002 recent? Still loving my vintage wrx.
When the wheels fall off I'd like to go with something electric, but those tend to be phones with wheels. Maybe a used volt?
Technically? It's 3 years off from antique.
Hey if it still runs and they were readily available. In terms of recent I was talking newer than my car, old enough not to have a computer system or backup lights.
Every car you could buy in the past 20 (probably 30) years had a computer system, because you can't meet emissions regulations without fuel injection.
In Europe, the Dacia Sandero base model is a car that literally only comes with what's needed to drive or mandated by law.
The previous generation was still available with wind-up windows, no power steering and no radio.
I don't know about any offerings in the US market.
I think OP is probably thinking of the kind of car computers that require you to use a touchscreen to control the windshield wipers, or turn off heated seats if you haven't paid your monthly rental fee. Not a car built entirely without microchips.
