Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what cars offer the best experience with minimal compromises on privacy and no subscription bs. I also have a Home Assistant instance that they can access remotely if there are any cars that can work well with that.

Edit: Android auto and CarPlay aren’t as important as I thought.

    Maybe they really want or need a car? They asked for the best car not for the most privacy friendly option in the world.

    You don’t have to go out and live on a farm in the mountains just because you care about privacy. There are degrees of privacy.

      There are degrees of privacy.

      And what did I say? “Just get extra phone and use some fake google account for android auto and you should be fine”. Kind of like I’m saying that while total privacy is not possible you can find a good compromise, wouldn’t you say?
