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.

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.
