In case the governor shuts down test drives due to a second wave I have been checking out some vehicles. I like to buy new but I do not like some of the features on new cars.
I do not like CVT transmission. My AAA magazine this month talked about problems with this newer technology. I like regular automatic transmission.
I do not like keyless entry. Your car can get hacked and stolen, and it is another thing that can break. My son has my old 2007 Elantra and the remote no longer works but he can still get in the car with the key. Keyless would not allow this.
I do not need electronics, bells and whistles. One car I had didn't even have a radio. What matters to me are affordability, gas mileage, reliability, and cost to maintain. For instance, I like cars that take conventional rather than synthetic oil because that is cheaper.
Is there a car out there for me or am I a hopeless relic?
