Mid 2000’s Corolla. It has knobs, and absolutely no touchscreens, though I did put Bluetooth in it for music. It does not know what “phoning home” even means. It is a chunk of metal, plastic, and rubber that gets me from A to B.
It’s awesome.
You don't have to go that far back. A 2015 Jetta also has no touchscreens or network connectivity, but it did have an option for Bluetooth. I'm not a car person, so it's possible that was true for later models as well.
2022s still came with 3G only modems. Doesn't do too much good if there is no network
I'm glad I opted to buy a new car in 2012. Enshittification accelerated hard not long afterwards. Gonna keep this one as long as I possibly can.
