My current car is old. I had a lot of repairs done on it recently. If I get a new car, I don’t want features. Lane assist, backup camera, DUI Camera, telemetry, auto breaking or other frankly silly features. Call me grumpy, but I find modern cars very distracting.

Can I ask a dealership to disable these at purchase? Is there a car that works best for being private besides just older cars?

I drive very little in a year. No, I can’t ride a bike.

    Good point, and a good thing to add to things to consider. Thank you.

    I was more thinking along the lines of the different classes of warrantable repairs and different classes of recalls.

    You could absolutely have a recall pertinent to your vehicle that turns out to be voluntary and the automaker refuses to honor it if that system has been deactivated, tampered with, or modified.
