The 23 impreza sedan 5 MT is a really good value if you can find one. Picked a new one up a few months ago for 22k with add on features and AWD. Fill ups have ranged between 34 - 41 mpg us. Good informative video btw.

[@bizmonkey007]

22k? What State?

[@dino0228]

I gotta second that. I was dumbfounded that the Impreza and Crosstrek don’t appear near the top of this list, especially because of Subaru’s reliability that outstrips most other makers. They aren’t more expensive than half the others in this list.

[@juelz4516]

I call bullshit

[@brettpanzer]

Reliable and good awd, but extremely boring with tons of cheap ugly plastic inside.

[@rreichar1]

I would add the VW Jetta GLI to the list. My son bought a 2023 with the DSG for $31,000 and with 20K miles on it now he loves it. Black with the Black package it is the best looking Jetta of this generation that I’ve seen. To me it feels like a long wheelbase GTI without the sketchy Haptic Touch controls.

[@TheGarrafan4life]

I definitely agree it’s an underrated car for sure. It’s a fun car to drive with good power.

[@JP-nl6lb]

I would watch and value your videos about used vehicle spectrums. From my experience, new to 10-year-old vehicles make up a lot of the bank loan territory? Classics really deserve their own video. xD Keep doing great Tyler!

[@katiecannon8186]

Honestly, I think the GTI base trim and Mazdas (CX30 or the Sedan) are the best value cars out there. The sedan Carbon Edition is hard to beat if you want “luxury”. GTI base trim if you want fun with lots of tech (compared to its rivals).

[@i.d.6492]

I disagree. Gti with 240 hp that's not even wheel power. I'll pass

[@alb0zfinest]

Yes, but I'm surprised he didn't include the mazda cx5 on the 29k-35k list. Reliable, stylish, premium interior, and cheaper than a Honda that's listed there. Idk.

[@diallo1347]

I'm only interested in manual cars so my options are limited. Luckily there are still some options new.

[@afcgeo882]

The Rav4 Hybrid LE I think should be the TOP of the list. The reliability, standard features, room, power and fuel economy are all fantastic.

[@bag2963]

Hi, very useful video Tyler. The video about used cars would be really nice, maybe even some performance options too(?)

[@Realistick]

I did slide a few in there, but a video focused on them could be a good idea too!

Thumbs up on having a car video that has cars that us mere mortals can afford! Kind of sick and tired of reviews of cars that cost as much as a house.

Subaru WRX is selling for a really good deal here in Canada. I just quoted a lease base WRX for $155 biweekly/24months and it's avaible!

[@walnoremac]

it is a very good deal

[@Doc1855]

The Corolla is the best bang for your buck. If you need an AWD, the Forester is the best

[@Mr.DMZ.]

Great review!

[@DavidMichaelKalman]

For value, I'd add the Subaru Impreza BASE model. Built in Japan... 16 gal. fuel tank. 5-door versatility. $24,435 with the essential $350 wheel package.

[@Diego-oy6en]

But then you are driving the most meh car ever made, you need at least the sport trim to stand it

[@DavidMichaelKalman]

@@Diego-oy6en You're not entirely wrong; but I'd suggest that the Sport trim is actually the same or worse (unnecessary larger rims/lower profile tires for rougher ride and less practicality plus the horrendous "upgraded" console/entertainment system)

[@Diego-oy6en]

@@DavidMichaelKalman I guess it all depends on what you value. I personally place importance on upgrades etc which is why I would have to go with the RS but at 32K that is a hard sell when you have the civic hatch

[@DavidMichaelKalman]

@@Diego-oy6en I agree. When I think of "value," I'm usually thinking of essentials instead of upgrades. I'm currently considering a Forester Premium. It's got all the basic features at the best price point. I view it as a better value than Crosstrek because for around the same price it's more capable (size-wise), has the power driver's seat, pano roof, and defaults to the 182HP engine (which should be the base engine for Impreza and Crosstrek as welll. I'm sure the RS benefits from the added power, but to me it's over-styled, pretending to be a hot hatch when it's still a dad car.)

[@bizmonkey007]

The Impreza is too close in price to the Crosstrek in my area. The difference is maybe a couple grand and there’s just not enough of an argument to choose the Impreza over the much better Crosstrek.

[@Darthvolvo]

I'd be interested in seeing you review some used cars. It would love to see a review on an Integra or 2024 Pilot.

[@zaboe911]

We personally got a Santa Cruz this year as it is incredibly practical, available at 4yr 0% apr, and around 28k. Very hard to beat that!

[@HealingDoc]

Yes please! Do a video like this for used cars.

[@davidglad]

Might be a while before sanity returns to the used market, but I'd be curious what a used guide would suggest. I was partial to the Mazda3 if I had to buy something now. Which Mazda becoming SUV-heavy makes me wonder what future it has..

[@Realistick]

The used list I have so far is all over the place (finding the balance between reliable and affordable is tricky) though the Mazda3 is on that one!

[@L0VR1J]

Thank you!

[@Specz187]

Good list for dollar per dollar cars. I figured the Mitsubishi mirage would get on the list for the cheapest. Def do a used car one. Looking for a full sized sedan, van or suv to replace my 2016 cruze with.

[@colechapman6976]

Toyota Camry 2014. Reliable and will last a lifetime. Can find for 14-17 for good ones. Not fun, but it's better than leasing a Kia and having it stolen or catch fire. More reliable than any Chevy product too

[@brinsonmcbride]

Bought a 23' Impreza this year right after the 24s came out and got under MSRP for it. Not the perfect car, but hard to beat a brand new AWD car for 20k

A much better deal than the new one (which is still a great car too, just less value-minded)!

I just bought a 2024 Mazda 3 sedan. I don`t like the look of the CX-30. I considered the Trax because it`s about the same price but it`s unavailable for months in my area.

[@JohnWolf926]

How’s the sedan been treating you?

[@saveamerica2896]

I'm seriously thinking about the trax. We've been looking at them. I drive a BMW But its burning oil and too expensive to fix. Its 2015

[@neuspeed79]

The Kia Sorento X-Line SX Prestige should have been on this list. It offers more bang for your buck in the $40k SUV bracket. There are even aftermarkets parts for it because it shares the same engine as the Kia Stinger 2.5T.

[@prolifiq7734]

Good video 👍🏻

[@King.speedy]

I think some real nice budget cars you guys can look at are the Chevy Malibus, they’re great on gas, a nice daily driver, and they come with different trims, which for the most part are all below msrp, you can get the 2022 models between 17k-24k, I got one myself and I’ve had no issues whatsoever, very elegant car and they do have the RS model for those sports guys.

[@danielv2766]

[@ejstreasurehunting6627]

Assuming you made a choice by now, but if not go 2012-2014, or V6. The 2009-11 had oil burning issues

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

Great video! Regarding the luxury options Cadillac CT4 is worth mentioning, starts at $34k and uses the great Alpha platform LONGITUDINAL engine, RWD

[@Realistick]

That's a good option that skipped my mind, I haven't driven one just yet but that price is strong for what you get, and unbeatable if you're looking for rwd!

[@zaphodbeetlepox6627]

Dodge Challenger should be able to squeek into the enthusiast list, VERY entertaining drive.

[@Realistick]

I suppose, it's a practical alternative to the Mustang though if we're comparing the ecoboost stang to the pentastar Challenger and only one is to be mentioned, I'm going with the ford personally. A V8 model will probably make the used list though, RIP.

[@marinoint]

The dealer markups on the Acura Integra are ridiculous. I'll never pay over MSRP, especially for a mainstream car.

The Subaru Impreza starts at 29k in Canada. That plus fees and tax are already over 30k, so it will be a no for me, and like you said, the Toyota Corolla is pretty boring. I think the Mazda 3 will be my to go car unless I really manage to justify a CX-30.

What would you reccomend under 45k for something practical, fun and reliable enough to keep for 10 years?

[@Realistick]

Wrx would be the easiest choice but I’d also check out the Acura Integra or mazda3 turbo if you want something more soft. GR corolla if you’re okay with some mild pain and Civic Type R if you’re amazing at finding cars for msrp!

[@katiecannon8186]

GTI. Which you can get well below 45K. Take good care of it, and the reliability is actually good. I really love mine & I’m a 59 year old female. It’s fun & practice & affordable

[@Luenysgo]

Yes I’d like to see used for 15k and below 😊

[@DM72513]

I agree with a lot of this. Few things. You're missing the VW Jetta Sport 6-speed Manual at ~$23K. Drives like a MK4 GTI 1.8T. You're too high on the WRX. It should start with a $2X,XXX based on the interior and features. A base GTI S or Elantra N over the lower WRX trims all day. GR Corolla Core over the WRX higher trims all day.

[@FSAPOJake]

Kia Forte GT2 can be obtained with heated and ventilated seats, stop & go cruise control, 201hp with either a DCT or a manual... for $26K. It's an absolute steal. The 1.6T it uses has been around for ages and has been proven reliable over the years.

[@Realistick]

I didn’t think you could get the gt2 for that cheap but that’s another good option. I’ve only driven the Elantra and Jetta GLI so far (a car that also deserves a place here)

[@FSAPOJake]

@@Realistick The Kia dealer near me had one for $27k, fully loaded with some extra dealer-installed options. You can get purely base models that are still decently well-equipped and have the same power for a few thousand dollars less. One of the best bargains out there.

[@Realistick]

@@FSAPOJake ah gotcha, that sounds like another good option!

[@xltoffroadbear]

Great list. I've had my 2024 Chevy Trax for 2 months, 3,000 miles and love it. I tried to get a Maverick, but dealers are asking for premiums. I laughed when you mention the Mazda CX-30's price, go try and find one for less than $30k. Actually, many of your stated prices are not what they're actually selling for! Quoting MSRP in 2023 is cute, you can't find cars for MSRP.

[@Realistick]

Interesting? Royal South Mazda in my town along with the next closest mazda store in greenwood Indiana had them all at msrp, many below 30k this whole year. Mazda just bumped prices for 2024 unfortunately but they still exist under 30k. Currently, most of these cars are available at MSRP in Indiana (I specifically mention which ones are not or hard to find at sticker, like the Maverick). If you can't find these cars at sticker, I feel bad for your region or you haven't put in much effort! Honda, Toyota Hybrids and any specialty enthusiast cars/trucks make up the bulk of what's marked up these days.

[@xltoffroadbear]

Maybe it's New York dealers? I know that the only cars that were at MSRP are some Kias, Hyundais and the Chevy Trax. Even the Trailblazer had "Market Adjustment" pricing. @@Realistick

without tax, tax varies by state and if you're trading in another car. This is the MSRP with destination cost.

[@steveh545]

cool. but i'd add 'efficient' to the mix. You should have considered Camry hybrid, or Accord. Or prius, etc etc. Maybe that's just what i'm looking for. cheap/efficient car to drive to work, park for 8 hours, then drive home. maybe pick up kids, or drop off, so scratch (unfortunately) the miata

[@Realistick]

Unfortunately those cars are much more expensive and all mentioned tend to pack markups. I’d probably buy an accord over the legacy or kia k5 but you pay for that.

[@steveh545]

@@Realistick you can buy a Camry hybrid at msrp. Or “srp”. Might have to shop around, but there are Toyota dealers selling for sticker. Probably can get normal Camrys for under msrp. Same likely holds true for Corolla and some others. Even Priuses. Priusi? Just not a prime. Cost a bit more than a Subaru or Kia, but probably higher resale. Great vid though!

[@Realistick]

I’d recommend the CR-V if you’re willing to spend 35k but if you don’t need a big backseat, the Mazda CX-5 select is 30k and comes with similar features to an EX CRV awd! I’d go HR-V if you don’t mind it being a bit lethargic, it’s a great value

Just bought a 2024 civic sport in cash at 22 id say these are affordable lol you don’t need a brand new car as your first. My 2012 garbage made me so much money from 16yo to 22yo

How sad it is when $4000 is the top price range for budget cars. Why greedy dealers aren’t brought to book by manufacturers is beyond me. Case in point I was looking at a 2023 dodge charger king Daytona that the MSRP price was 102,000, the dealer add an addendum price of 72000 !!! That is robbery

Bro said “vehicles that most people can actually buy” lmao

[@Yogafireflame]

These things used to be like 14-18k wtf

Pay cash for a car and do not finance. A brand new car depreciates by 10% of more as soon as it is driven off the dealers lot. Save your money and purchase a used vehicle around 3-5 years old and invest the money that you would have wasted on car payments.

[@Realistick]

Not bad advice or anything but It’s been complicated lately and it largely depends on the car you’re buying. lately, used prices have been so bad that buying new actually makes more sense than lightly used cars due to the warranties and free maintenance with some models. The interest kills people right now but a lot of people can’t afford a decent car without financing. Weird times right now.

@@Realistick The car market is tough to navigate right now and you’ve made a lot of valid points. Your video promotes dialogue which is proven by all the comments and I appreciate that. Thank you.

Calling $40k “budget” is insane

[@Realistick]

If you’re shopping for a three row, it is.

[@crixsimmons_]

budget used to be 5k

[@Realistick]

Maybe in the 80s if we were talking about new cars like I was in this video. Used video about $10-30k is on the channel with a sub $10k video sometime down the line!
