There are many factors in play. The type of technology used, the metal quality of the car. The place where the DC components are located and most importantly, the magnitude of the EMP.

If you have a garage and the top is in metal, better again. Old car (before '80') don't have this problem, you might look for one .

Namaste, Steven
