I'm with you here.

  * Engine
  * Transmission, manual is fine and was cheaper to produce
  * Brakes
  * Heat and AC
  * Wheels that stay attached, looking at you Toyota
  * Decent body that doesn't dissolve in the first winter like a Mazda that one generation
Everything else is optional or nice to have.

Supposedly it is progress, but there are, to me, so many anti-features in a modern car.

Moonroof? Leaked.

Fancy stereo? You ever have one lock up and repeat a half second like you're playing an MP3 on a Mac LC II? I did in 2014. Sorry, have to pull over and reboot the car.

Big rims? Expensive.

The Japanese Kei car seems like the ideal to me. Of course, safety amongst the land barges that Americans tend to prefer is a big issue sadly.

I'd sooner buy a Yugo than a Mercedes Benz.
