Anyone with concerns about privacy and thinking about buying a car in Europe should have eCall in mind.

An European citizen unwilling to have an embedded system that tracks location, accesses mic and transmit GPS data has three options: burn the SIM card module, buy a pre-April-2018 car or something outside the EU.

By the looks of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tC_NX5D8AA) the latest Suzuki Jimny still doesn't have a built-in navigation or anything like that, it will probably be on my to-buy-list in 6 or 7 years when (and if) I decide to buy a new SH car. I like my cars with a very plain and simple interior, just AC and a basic radio/CD player it's perfect for me.

Less is more, I guess.

Suzuki's Jimny is one of the few (if not the only) 4x4 available that is not an SUV. At least around here.

If you're looking for minimalism, you should take a look at Bollinger's B1 (https://bollingermotors.com/)
