Agreed. Where's the modern equivalent to my 95 honda civic? Zero smart features and it was the cheapest AND best car I've ever owned.
Renault Twingo EV. <$20,000. Not with US tariffs.
But Americans don't buy small cars.
Geez, that looks nice. And the green is really a pretty color.
I wish we got small cars again. I'm going to be really sad when I have to give up my MR2 spyder. Fortunately, with an average of 1 to 2 mile a day, I think it'll hang on a while.
US vehicle weight tracks with the US obesity rate last 20 years. Maybe Ozempic will turn people back to smaller cars.
The era of Civic/Accord was so good. Drove one until it had like 270k miles on it before the insurance company decided to junk it after some body damage
I want a new metro hatchback. If a 3 cyclinder could make it go and get 55mpgh then an electric engine would zoomzoomzoom.
the best I've found stopped being made over a decade ago
Toyota Matrix / Pontiac Vibe
Hyundai Elantra Touring
