idk about the US, but for Canada, there's nothing under $50k, and anything around that mark is not what I want.

I want economical, basic, non-super-smart, halogen headlight, simple to repair, minimal touchscreen, physical driver controls, and at minimum a hatchback (but ideally wagon)

that car doesn't exist. so I'll keep buying used cars and repairing them instead of funneling money to manufacturers for shitty products.

    Yep. This is what's up.

    When Nokia translates their brick phone design into an electric car, it'll sell like hot cakes.

    Until then, we will see how many shitbox Toyota's we can keep running well past 300,000 miles.
