What straight six petrol engine car do you recommend?

I live in a remote area and do not trust hybrid battery cars - can you recommend a car with a straight 6 petrol engine? I believe they are the most reliable due to their balance. No wet belts either thanks. There are no modern cars I like, too much binging and binging distracting me and infuriating touch screens

If you are looking for an older vehicle with a straight six engine, we would suggest looking at 3.0-litre BMWs, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguars.
