What petrol car fo you suggest?

I currently own a 2020 VW T-Cross, which I am happy with but feel it has a little too much technology built in, i.e. lane assist which is not much use on rural road in Mid Wales. I would like to change for a newer 1 year old car, petrol engine, auto gearbox. I am tempted by a VW Polo or Ford Puma but find that the range of petrol engine cars is very limited now. Electric power is not the answer to our problems and not suitable for me, but what cars are available to me now please?

Safety regulations mean such technology is pretty much mandatory now so most modern cars have it. You could try a Dacia Sandero - it's a basic hatchback without clever driver-assistance tech (and therefore a two-star Euro NCAP safety rating!).
