Something naturally aspirated and FWD is about as simple as you can get - the gearbox will be attached to the engine, it'll all be fairly small and light (if in a small, light car), and if you get something from the late 90's it'll be reliable without being so complex on the electronics front that you have no chance of troubleshooting without the dealer specific software package.
There's also a minimum of systems to go wrong. Small, light, cheap and tinny hatchbacks can also be great fun, in a way that a Disco can never be.
