Is there a modern but non complicated car out there?
All I require in a car is speed, comfort and style. The only gadgets I need are air-con, electric windows and navigation. I don't want loads of sensors and pedestrian airbags, lane change and all the modern safety gadgets but I do want a modern car. Any suggestions?

That's a tough one - modern cars are increasingly loaded with safety gadgets. You can buy basic models (think Dacia) but they're generally not fast, comfortable or stylish. You could look at something like a Mazda MX-5 - they're stylish and offer back-to-basics driving fun, but they're not the most comfortable choice for long journeys.
