I don’t have any need for features.
My first car I bought new in 2008 without power windows or remote unlock.
I’ve got a 2004 Acura TSX and a 2009 Honda CRV that I bought for I think less than $13K combined. Plan on running each into the ground.  Previous Message
For the purposes of this exercise, 1 being you just want something to get you from point A to point B reliably, safely and really nothing else matters. 10 being you obsess over it, want it fully tricked out and are giving it unnecessary waxes on a weekly basis. Have a guy down the street from me that does a full hand wash and wax of his Mazda Miata every week.
