I'm on a search for a future car and have a pretty specific list of requirements. I currently drive a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S and despite the warranted hate for it I actually love it and it's been incredibly reliable for me. It's also made me appreciate certain design choices that align with what I expect from a car that I plan to keep until it cannot be repaired any further. I've made a list of the things that are most important to me in a car and want to find the options that meet most, if not ideally all, of my requests. I would prefer a sedan, though am open to coupes, CUVs, and small trucks.
What I'm looking for (in rough order of importance):
Naturally aspirated
Port injected
Timing chain
No connected services
No variable displacement
No auto start stop
Mechanical parking brakes
No driver assist
Transmission dipstick and drain plug
Double DIN radio
Metal oil cooler and thermostat housing
No sunroof/moonroof
No power or heated/cooled seats
Cloth seats
Obviously this will rule out most cars after about 2015 and honestly I'm completely fine with that. I'd like to find as new of a vehicle as possible but its tough without a database of some kind with filters for things like this. If anyone has any recommendations I would be very appreciative.
