I think there's room in the market for a back to basics car company that takes out all this bs, goes back to crank windows and all that crap and sells new vehicles for an affordable cost with a good warranty.
It would probably crush today.

I had a Dacia as a rental in Martinique, and the rear windows were crank windows. It was a cheap car, but nice to drive. I would certainly buy one as a commuter, for sure.
Those Dacia Sandero were amazing, up until a few years there were lot's of them still in the streets of Bucharest with over 1 million km on the pedometer.
I recommend looking at Euro NCAP rating and crash videos of any Dacia car. I value my life more than the price difference to any reputable car company’s cheapest acceptable option.
Okay?
How does this answer the question? A daily driver still has to meet a certain standard of functionality and comfort. Even if the functionality is fine as barebones as it is, the comfort of Dacia's is so bad I think it’s a valid question on what such people have as their standard. Or maybe it was a brand new Dacia (like 2026 or 2027 model) which I haven’t driven yet and perhaps those got better?
