You’re sacrificing modern device connectivity

Aftermarket headunit. My 2008 Sienna has Android Auto/Apple Carplay, can show live OBDII data onscreen, and there are even aftermarket options for cell-enabled remote start and monitoring not tied to the manufacturer.

safety

Idk, my 2015 Highlander manages to be pretty safe without that connectivity, outside of GPS and Bluetooth.

economy

Yeah ok, I'll take the L on that. We get mid to high teens in the Highlander and Sienna. Mostly city driving.

It’s definitely a choice, but you gotta understand you’ll be paying in a different way when you avoid newer vehicles.

I'm well aware.
