    good, its criminal that “cheap” cars all but disappeared. 90% of people don’t need a $30K car to commute in

    the cheapest car right now is the $17,790(msrp + destination) Mitsubishi Mirage and that just feels extremely overpriced for the segment.

    6 years ago, the 2017 Honda Fit started at $17,780 and that is 100x the car that the Mirage is.

      17780 in 2017 is worth 22526 in today’s money. A Toyota Corolla Cross is 23610 in today’s money. A Honda HR-V is 24100 in today’s money. Kia Soul and Hyundai Venue are both 20k flat.

      Unfortunately the key problem is inflation. Car prices are still relatively consistent.
