Me too. I’d be happy without Nav, touchscreen, camera, multi-zone AC (though this feature was in some cars well before the advent of computer controlled features), adjusting cruise, lane assist, etc.

Throwing my hat into this consensus. I hate center counsel touchscreens and lights with a passion. About the only feature I like that wasn’t standard in 2000 is the little notification/signal when someone is passing in your blind spot.

We had a 99 V70, naturally aspirated with a 5-cylinder engine. We kept it for 17 years and it's still going. If they would build a new version of that car, I would get it in a heartbeat. It had a lot of safety equipment, got about 30mpg on the highway. rode great, had a lot of room, and was as dependable as any car we have ever owned, including Hondas and Toyotas.
