I rode in a Mexican Nissan Tsuru (no, autocorrect, not Taurus) last week. It was approximately the least luxurious sedan you could conceivably purchase, comparable to my old Jeep CJ5. All metal and plastic. Fabric seats. Manual windows, locks, transmission. I was shocked that it had a radio and AC. But it felt like a vehicle that would last decades in that climate with a screwdriver and a wrench. It was simply and purely a car, in a way that was refreshing. I might buy a car like that, especially if they made a more rugged version with a cruise control. The 0-star crash rating, lack of airbags, and lack of rear shoulder belts and rear headrests don't need to be emulated, though.
