Not all of us.

I'll keep my manual transmission sedan that handles well and doesn't connect to the internet to collect data on me until it collapses into a pile of rust.

Same. My car's turning 18 this year. It' still in good shape. I should be able to get a few more years out of it. After that? Who knows?

But they what? With few new small cars being built, the supply is dwindling, even in the used market.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I'm hoping that the trend will change by then. I've got about 10 more years. If it doesn't happen? I have no idea what I'll do.

That's assuming nothing unexpected happens. Weeks before our '05 (manual) Civic was totaled last May, my spouse and I were discussing how we could probably get 5+ more years out of it. We were (thankfully) able to get a '20 Golf, but VW has even discontinued that!

13 year old small pickup with a 2L and 5-speed: best car I ever bought. No computers, can haul a half ton of stuff and only uses 7-8L/100KM when commuting.
