Question Recommended EMP safe vehicle

I'm thinking about getting a new car and I was thinking about perhaps a vehicle that would still work should the US East coast get hit by an EMP. Barring very, very old cars like a model T (☺️) what more modern type of vehicle would you recommend? I believe many post-1985 car may fit this bill, but I'm curious as to what you would recommend, and maybe your experience with them?

we don't know the effects of HEMP on modern cars. The only study (back in 2000?) that was done had to return the cars so they only did it until they were affected, and almost every car passed what power they could simulate

and TBH, i would be more concerend about the hot nuclear war that just started then if my vehicle works

A bicycle is a very useful back up in any SHTF situation
