I'm sure Hyundai has a budget box as well. I randomly pulled kia because they were the budget king at one point. Was pretty surprised to see their cheapest at 27-28k tbh
Pretty sure everything has all those things as standard nowI'm assuming that's a bare bones econobox, no air, cruise, power windows, etc?

Hey, got a nice Pruis for you. 2 owner. 250 km. Runs good. Hardly any rust. Car is good too.Never buy a new car. Worst investment ever. Buy a 2 year old car a senior citizen drove.
Back in 2000 I bought a 99 Tercel with low mileage. It had been a fleet vehicle and the trim package was even less than the base model you'd get from a dealer. If I wanted to adjust the rear view mirror I had to roll the window down and move it by hand. If I wanted to open the trunk I had to get out and use the key.Cheaper for the manufacturer to keep those basic features in rather than tooling up a part of their line to do runs without those features.
Super basic trim level is just the cheapest materials on the interior, nothing more than mandated safety features, cheapest infotainment set up, smallest engine, cheapest rims, etc.
My first car was a used 1973 Plymouth Scamp with freeze-or-fry vinyl seats and an AM radio. After a year, the underside of the car, which was more rust than metal but which the dealer had cleverly disguised with a layer of spray-on undercoating, began to deteriorate and while driving I could look down at where my feet were and see specks of daylight through the firewall. On rainy days the cuffs of my pants would get wet.You kids and your complaining. In my day, the bare-bones model didn't even have a motor. It just had a small hole in the floor that you put your feet through and you used them to propel the car forward. Stereo sound? We had a transistor radio on the dashboard and only the richest kid in the neighbourhood had one that could access FM. Power windows? Luxury! We had to tape a piece of plastic across the window pane instead of glass and in the winter you had to wear 3 parkas so you didn't freeze to death.
Best financial decision I made was trading in my POS Mazda 6 for a brand new Hyundai Elantra in 2011. Still driving the Elantra and outside of having to repair some damage to the front suspension when I smoked an island, it's asked for nothing from me. Just about to hit 200k. Great car.
My '73 Corolla had 395000 MILES on it when I sold it for $600 bucks. It did have a 45-gallon drum of body fill on it, though.Back in 2000 I bought a 99 Tercel with low mileage. It had been a fleet vehicle and the trim package was even less than the base model you'd get from a dealer. If I wanted to adjust the rear view mirror I had to roll the window down and move it by hand. If I wanted to open the trunk I had to get out and use the key.
But that damned car was well nigh indestructible. I had it for 14 years and when I sold it to a coworker it had something like 325,000 kms on it. And for the most part all I ever did was put gas into it and change the oil every 5000 kms.
