Mazda 3. Interior is better than everything else in it’s class, and it’s not even close. Starts at $20k for the sedan, and $21k for the 2.5 engine.

This is from Canada, but a Kia Forte 5 is under $25k and looks fantastic.

I would say the Kia Soul for inexpensive car. 

Most used small Asian econo cars.

I’m gonna throw in a curveball - the Toyobaru twins are old school sports cars.

I knew I was leaving war conjuring names off my list and your faux patriotism examples certainly fits that dynamic.

I’m old and I wouldn’t be seen dead in that thing unless I was trying to embarrass my children, so don’t give up.

The first real “mass-market” hypercar for the children of dictators?

Call them a “Trump” roof from now on.

I’ve mostly had Heinzhundts, myself — 57 varieties. Those, and Moonlight Fence Jumper crossbreeds.

This is more of an overall body style than a particular model, but I guess the BMW X6 started the trend of fastback crossovers.

Upvote on re-branding mutts. It’s gotten out of hand.

“beige vinyl roof make this a Buick that stands out in the crowd”

For some reason, sometimes when I read these “what car should I buy” segments I feel like I’m some creep going through a stranger’s underwear drawer.

I think my kids would require I get a Wind Farm edition Vehicle.

He’ll just use torque vectoring instead.

When I bought my F-150, I started a Facebook group called ‘Liberal Truck Owners.’

I’m going to have to ask that the Marxman be renamed the Marxperson. We really need to be gender-neutral here, as all genders are trapped under the oppressive boot of capitalism 

Not going to lie, the comments section makes me happy. I have been a cyclist for 15 years and a car nut far longer, and I distinctly remember when the Jalopnik comments section was vehemently anti-cyclist to the point of some who advocated for what this asshole did.

100%. If a 16-year-old is too immature and underdeveloped to be held responsible for this, the state is negligent for issuing him a license.
