Well, this is what happens when CAFE laws are harsher on smaller cars and easier on bigger cars.

The compact car/hatchback market is dwindling slowly, dark times ahead for enthusiasts imo

I have a 2020 Kia Rio with 36k miles and it’s really great for a first car

I´m sure that in a few years later, the cheapest Car´s will cost $ 30k 😥

The Sentra MSRP is about what I remember actual selling price of base Accords and Camrys just a few years back.

This is the macroeconomic result of an industry that relies in crossovers to maximize profits.

Maximizing profits begets inflation. Inflation reduces the value of profits, and you get the picture

There were many tears shed for the Kia Rio.

cant blame manufacturers if ppl keep buying $100k pick-up trucks and suvs

I still drive a Scion, I wish Toyota marketed those cars better because it seems like a new 16k xB back in 15 was a much better deal than anyone of these newer cars.

If I have to get a car out your list, then I will get the Toyota Corolla. Im still shocked how well my 4Runner hold its value even though its to be expected.

I would also include the Rio's slightly bigger brothers the Forte and Soul as well, as they're priced similarly to the Elantra/Corolla.

You are missing the Chevy Trax - it’s pretty big for it’s size and uses a regular automatic and not some crummy cvt! Yet starts at 20.4k! And it’s made in Korea since I know Kirk is a Asian car company fan…

The U.S./NA market is a pretty dismal place to live (compared to other global markets) if you like subcompact & compact class vehicles, most especially if you want a vehicle that size in a premium/sporty or hybrid trim level.

This is also a genius way to make sure the average car cost stays high to convince people to pay more than they need to since it's close to the average cost. People need to realize that the most expensive cars pull up the average price.

My kia rio manual hatch is 9 years old, solid base small car! And parts are cheap to replace...waiting on the K3 manual for replacement! bring it kia!

[bigcrowfly]

This is happening on schedule driven by the politicians starting about a dozen years ago. EVs could replace small cars to bring fleet MPG up.
The gov used to "encourage" the production of small inexpensive cars at a loss to raise the fleet MPG to required levels to offset thirstier vehicles everyone wanted.
When the gov allowed the carmakers to do it with EVs (or EV credits from TESLA) the death of small inexpensive gas cars was as lawmakers intended.

Toyota corolla would be my only pick from the list. New and would even pay extra for the hybrid version. It would last for a long, long time with fairly low upkeep.

Everyone everywhere have markup for everything, but our paycheck, it really is a bad and sucks time we live in, gotta stop those greedy rich
