You have no idea how much you revealed with this opinion. hahahaha.
Well, I'll tell you. I like simple. I prefer simple. For years I had an old GMC Sierra 99, I think and ran that thing to the ground. Loved it. Worked on it myself. Sold it working and everything when I left Arizona.
These days I drive a Russian Lada Niva. A little tank. It will destroy your back (so I changed the seats), but I can service it myself without specialized tooling. Its not fast, not even a little bit. But, its like a little tractor. I've pulled fancy Toyotas from the mud a few times with it, and it laughed all the way. The little tank is 30 years old and I reckon I'm going to get ten more years out of it.
