    In my opinion, the worst part about new cars is that they are essentially tracking devices and some of them can be remotely controlled.

    Any suggestions on how to get a car that doesn’t track you and was built post-2010?

      Mazda MX5. I have a 2019 and it’s simple. Heated seats, blindspot mirrors, backup camera, led headlights. Absolute joy to drive.

      No other tech that tracks you as far as I’m aware.

      There is a website that you can opt out of having certain data tracked.

      But I imagine insurance companies will use it as an excuse to raise your rates if you opt out

        There is also the issue of companies pinky-promising that they won’t track you but still call home.

        But if no other alternatives are available, this is good to know.
