Hummer EV failed twice, left Roman stranded, and he still gets excited when he sees one. Something is wrong with the man. Get him help.

[@pault7977]

At our local dealers... Mazda CX30 AWD is selling for $25,805. Subaru Impreza sport AWD can be had for $26,634. You can pick up a Honda HR-V LX AWD for $26,667, the CR-V AWD starts at $35,315. Hyundai have a Kona for $24,250, Santa Cruz for $26,900 and a Tuscon for $27,500. Toyota Camry LE AWD $28,780, Corolla Cross LE for $29,129. Our local Nissan dealership has a Rogue S AWD at $32,005 or the Altima SR for $31,725? Can you find a new 2024 AWD for ~$30K and under? Yes. We need more reviews of these type of vehicles and less of the overpriced $60K and up... as entertaining and out-of-reach as they may be.

Damn son excellent research

2025 Toyota Camry LE AWD Hybrid 52 mpg average. Approx $30K. Toyota got it right

[@Qdogg1985]

My wife and I picked up a 2024 Mazda CX5 in December. Very well equipped for a base model with standard awd and it was $30k with 0% financing for 60 months.

Great pick! Made in Japan, big touchscreen, leatherette seats, heated front seats, rear air vents, push button start, smart entry, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert etc. The base Select trim has everything you need!!

[@atmartens]

Mazda makes a good one.

[@eggheadegghead]

Is it out of the door price of $30k or is it before taxes and fees?

[@lanmansvideos]

My local Mazda dealership has a CX-30 S (base model) for $25,750. 8" of ground clearance as well as a good AWD system. That is about as inexpensive as you can get for a new AWD vehicle.

[@lockandloadlikehell]

Except for a Subaru Impreza with full time awd (not torque on demand to the rear wheels when the front wheels slip) for $24115 But ground clearance is only like 5.1 inches. A Crosstrek with 8.7" gc is $26,540 You could buy a brand new impreza in 2019 for a little over $19,000.

[@JohnJohnA101]

With the relationship you have with Subaru it’s not surprising you didn’t hit one of their dealerships. If you’re a sucker for boxy exteriors, I just bought a loaded 2024 Forester Sport for $31k. They had a base model for just under $29k. They also had a base Crosstrek for $26,800 and an Impreza Sport for under $26k.

[@billybobbob3003]

they totally skipped the all wheel drive corolla cross the msrp for the 2024 AWD is $ 26,510

[@mikearend997]

1. Toyota Rav4, 2. Nissan Rogue, 3. Buick. The Rav4 is slightly more, but you'll make that up in dealer servicing and reliability over the next 5-10 years.

[@garygeorge9648]

The biggest problem with RAV4 is how noisy they are! I have a hybrid limited and it is as noisy as my Wrangler was.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

The RAV4 is bulletproof, but it has more tire and engine noise than a School Bus.

[@mikearend997]

@@garygeorge9648 I agree, they don't put much sound deadening in most of the lower end Toyota models, even the Limited's. I had a 2013 Highlander Limited, and it too was a bit tinny when you closed the doors, and could have been quieter at highway speeds, but nothing ever broke on it. You have to jump up to the top models like the Avalon or switch to Lexus. Maybe it's planned that way, who knows. However as a Power Engineer and Millwright, I appreciate the reliability of most Toyota models. Although, I believe they are making them a little cheaper that they used to. Time will tell. But lots of bad reports on that 1.3 turbo and transmission in the GM products. I would never buy one, but that's just my opinion.

Subaru probably has the least expensive new awd cars

[@Cloud30000]

If that dealership took over a year to test the camera cable when diagnosing a camera communication problem, you need a new dealer. They either don’t care and just charged the hours to warrantee service for an easy payday without trying to fix anything, or they are completely incompetent and need a written procedure that tells them what to do for any given symptom instead of actually being able to investigate and figure out an issue themselves. Johnson’s Auto Plaza is on my list of places to avoid for any vehicle service, which also drops it lower on my list of places to buy a vehicle (especially used).

[@user-ib6fu3ux1q]

Subaru Crosstrek, base, $26,540. Forester, base $28,440. Both include shipping.

[@Emilthehun]

It's junk cvt. No thanks.

[@blkbyrd]

We just bought a 2023 Ford Explorer ST and we got something like almost $5k off MSRP, no dealer's fees, and 0% financing. Ours is an ST so it's absolutely not cheap, but apparently that deal is being offered on all 2023 Explorer's regardless of trim level. Definitely excellent deals if you can find some of the lower trims like an XLT or something. Edit: I forgot to mention that I am in the Denver metropolitan area as well.

[@Angelbonilla1982]

Here in Puerto Rico, Toyota Rav4 XLE $45K!! Kia Sorrento $61K!! GOLF TYPE R $61K, CIVIC TYPE R $62K COROLLA GR $60K, TUNDRA $130K!! HERE IS INSANE!!

[@kevinbarry71]

Cheapest is typically not the least expensive. If you want affordable four-wheel-drive, Corolla Cross, Honda HRV, perhaps a Mazda, and if you enjoy that sort of thing, maybe a Subaru. Wouldn't go anywhere near a General Motors or jeep dealership

[@KPHVAC]

Toyota is still number 1 for reliability then Mazda. Honda has had some engine issues in the last 5 years. I've always been a Honda fan but you have to be careful of what engine and year you buy.

I paid about 23k for my 4Runner used back in 2019, at 4% it was still a $450 a month payment. With interest rates the way they are, I just don't see anything over 20K being "affordable". I have to imagine that at 7%, even that Trax is going to be a $500 a month payment.

[@Wearyman]

I love how now "cheap" and "affordable" is basically 30k, and in order to make it seem cheap you have to compare it to a top of the line luxury SUV. Even when interest rates were being held artificially low for years, 30k was NOT CHEAP. A cheap car was 10 - 20k. With interest rates the way they are today, even a 25k car is EXPENSIVE for the average person. Because it isn't the sticker price, it's the monthly payment. And if you have to stretch the payments out to past double the life of the warranty in order to have an affordable monthly payment, it's an EXPENSIVE car. I know it wasn't your intent, but you have basically proven the argument people are making: That vehicle prices are out of control and aren't affordable.

[@Cloud30000]

A cheap house is 100-200k. Just like cheap houses, cheap cars no longer exist. You are no longer the target audience, and there is always others willing to pay the higher prices while you pound sand.

[@markcoopers1930]

The last time cars were sold for 10k was 2002, and those were cars like the Toyota Echo and Hyundai Accent base model. It's been over 2 decades. Just look at the price difference percentage between 1960 and 1980 cars, or 1980-2000 and this shouldn't be shocking. If anything, with how much more capable cars have become its actually great value.

[@kwilliams4031]

@@markcoopers1930 Well you're wrong. I bought brand new Hyundai Accents in 2001 and 2012 for roughly $10k and a brand new '17 Mirage for about $11k. To pretend like prices haven't shot up since the pandemic is either ignorant or deceptive.

[@markcoopers1930]

​@@kwilliams4031 2012 was a decade before the pandemic. Who's being deceptive? The lowest MSRP on a 2012 Accent (GLS sedan, manual) was $12,545. If it was had for $10k it means the market thought it was a steaming pile compared to everything else, to where it should have gone straight off the lot to cash for clunkers. The Mitsubishi Mirage absolutely is a pile at 78hp, and the MSRP for those were 12995 in the cheapest form (ES manual hatchback). The fact it was that cheap msrp in 2017 has to do with the fact it was 2 feet shorter in 2017 than that cramped compact Accent was in 2012, which is already a subcompact.

[@weegeemike]

When you go to dealers that are in isolated areas, they can get away with charging more because theh know youre not gonna drive 3 hours away to find a better deal. They got you where they want you by being the only dealer for a specifix brand for that area. Dealer prices are always nuts in my area because were 60+ miles away from the nearest dealer for any given car brand. When you get down to big metro areas with multiple dealerships that sell the same product within a fairly small area, you get extreme competition with dealers always wanting to take business from other dealers by slashing prices so the competing dealer doesnt get the sale. The LA area is a good example of this.

[@Silverback_GMT410]

If your reason for AWD is that you live somewhere snowy with Colorado, then get a cheap 2wd and a set of good winter tires, and maybe a driving class if that's still not enough for you. Believe it or not here in Canada we do still use 2wd vehicles and the world doesn't end.

This one wasn’t part of the recall, and I don’t think any 2023 model was. For what it’s worth, consumer reports gave this 2023 a “much better than average” score for predicted reliability. But for the price, it doesn’t have to last me 200,000 miles, although some people do have their 2018 Bolts at 200,000 to 300,000 miles with relatively little in the way unexpected repairs. The electric powertrain only has a total of 13 rotational parts, which is extremely low in the form of complexity. The battery also has a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty on it.
