Dumb cars?

Unfortunately I bought a 'smart' car (2015 Honda Fit) before I found out about the Free Software Movement. At some point I would like to 'downgrade' this car to something non-hackable. Any advice on cars with minimal technology in them (the less the better)?
Not using a car is not an option for me.
There is this article from edmunds.com: http://www.edmunds.com/car-technology/how-to-buy-a-low-tech-car.html
But I would like to get opinions from people in the community. Thank you!
not only low tech, in this matter, i'll go for a electric car for sure (if i had da money). the issue of pollute i think is the first issue with cars in this matter.
Riversimple Rasa, you're my type of car.

Actually, I'm a scooter guy. Vespa forever. I have a two-stroke 200cc PX.

If anybody is into motorcycles that reek of old times -- check Janus, Goshen, Indiana. These guys have revived the spirit of bygone days.

Sounds like an interesting thread. This one is about low tech cars.

In 1935 Peter Fleming, an editor for the London Times and, interestingly, Ian Fleming's older brother, set out from Peking for Kashmir. It was a 3500 mile journey across the roof of the world. He chose as his traveling companion Ella Maillart, a beautiful Swiss journalist ;-)

That is awesome!!
Unfortunately I can't afford to potentially brick my car's computer.
A few years from now, when you can pick up one of those cars inexpensively, that is a different story.
