What Make/Model/Years did you find that met your criteria?

I ended up getting a 2017 Honda Accord V6 with Sensing. I got everything that I wanted, but had to compromise and get passive keyless entry.

The Toyotas Camrys also seemed good, except I couldn't find a V6 to test drive and they didn't have Android Auto.

Just a note: I'm not super-paranoid about my car getting hacked. I didn't want a cellular modem because I know I won't use whatever features it enables, and I didn't want my car to be ransomed for a bitcoin. I didn't want passive keyless entry because it didn't seem like much of a convenience, and it weakens security against petty theft.

My criteria, in priority order:

Must haves:

* V6 engine

* No cellular modem

* No passive keyless entry (not really available anymore, so I had to drop it as a dealbreaker)

Nice to haves:

* Android Auto/Carplay

* Adaptive cruise control, etc.
