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?

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.

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.

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks promising. MX5 has only 2 seats, but maybe one of the larger models is good too.
