Basic Modern Cars
12 Answers
Having bought a new car only around 4 months ago and had warranty work already completed for faulty door locks causing access and auto seat position issues plus numerous weird beeps and alarms when you just dont expect it.
It got me thinking about how EVERYTHING on the car seems to be run by a computer or is digitally displayed.
I am not sure this car will be running for as many as the 20 years my old car has and still is running.
The cost also comes into play with me just randomly looking at the cost of an electric wing mirror on the new car being £670. And I'm talking a mid range hyundai not a sports car.
So my question is. Does any vehicle manufacturer still do a basic car with manual mechanical displays, switches, buttons and levers with power steering and electric windows about as technical as it gets , similar to my 20 year old car.
An engine thats basic and easy to work on and doesn't need a computer to diagnose any issues.

My car has so much electronic stuff and when weird things go wrong nobody really knows how to diagnose and fix it, there are also reams of online forums with the same faults popping up and a plethora of suggested solutions but nothing definitive (mainly to do with beeps and sounds, battery drainage and odd things not working that have nothing to do with the car actually running like seats, alarms, lights, bells and whistles).
maybe worth considering something like this:
