GOD DAMN IT. I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A COROLLA. Can anyone recommend another reliable car that says "I don't give a shit about cars, my cat just hates ubers"?
Buy a Corolla... Get a used one and have any service or maintenance you can't do yourself done at a locally owned shop. It's not ideal but it's as good as it's going to get
Solid advice. Toyotas fall in value like any other car, then hit a few thousand and stay there forever. There's a good reason for that.
Between salvage, refurbished parts, and new old inventory, you can easily keep a 10 year old Toyota on the road for decades.
Subaru if you're okay with combustion. Hyundai maybe if you want to go electric?
Hyundai is abusing labor in its US factories. Not exactly a morally superior choice. Lateral move at best.
Oof. Good to know. Ethically, there seems to be no real good options.
Maybe a used vehicle with low ecological impact is the best moral choice at this point?
Used EVs that are not that old seem to be pretty cheap, cheaper than ICE cars.
Subaru or Honda.
Buy the corolla anyway.
