What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars? (lemmy.ml)

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?

If at all possible, consider replacing your car with an E-bike. Way cheaper, both in upfront and maintenance costs. No insurance, no gas, no registration fees, etc, etc. With the right set-up you can haul a week's worth of groceries in the rain and not even think twice about it.

If at all possible.

I used to main a bicycle in the suburbs, which was probably orders of magnitude more pleasant than doing so in any American city, since both lack any serious bike infrastructure.
