Can you name a good handling 4WD or RWD car with good performance and boot/rear space, but doesn't have bullshit sensors or electrical faults.

Must be cheap (around £5-7k)
Must do decent mpg

thanks, I'm baffled and want a different car. I don't think one exists with my criteria

325/330 E46. - but can get passenger airbag sensor issues in the coupes.

But tbh there are so many electronics on cars these days i imagine the majority will have something go wrong at somepoint, just depends if youre lucky it doesnt happen with you.

330d tbh Ade.

No idea if you can get one for your price range. Assume you can.

Lease a new one? Warranty?

hmmm, maybe the boot space isn't that important as I do have a van.

maybe just a boot big enough for some food shopping.

I'd love car that goes back to basics!

Brakes
Engine
Lights
Steering
Stereo

As changing sensors every week is beginning to piss me off.

Something without lots of sensors and that would have other issues, normally being older, so rust and other age related stuff.

this is why I'm finding hard to think/find a car suitable.

Was set on getting a Mazda6 MPS, but the MPG is going to be worse than my car and petrol is killing me because I can't control my right foot.

If I could I can get nearly 60mpg at 55mph lolz

The only way you're going to have a car without sensors is to buy something really old.

Then you have a load of other problems.
