Answer 1

I drive a basic 2006 Ford van, with no electric locks or power window openers. I like it because it’s simple and fixable and utilitarian. And man, was it cheap to buy and cheap to maintain. And the reason it’s so cheap is that it’s so simple. Same reason the low-end Toyotas are so durable. Nothin’ fancy.
