Housing prices are insane! I have over 20 grand saved up. I haven't found a house within my REALISTIC monthly budget! I have a newer vehicle, my payments are 300/month. I drive alot for work.
As much as people complain about vehicle prices, a house is much more difficult if you aren’t already an owner with equity built up (of course regional prices will vary). Around me, a decent single family home can’t be really found for less than $400k, and our market is far from the worst in the country.
@@wl6020 in some respects yes, but (at least from my knowledge of other brands from that era) typically hatches also have things like rear hatch struts, wiper, remote unlocking, different rear seats which do not have an integral body support behind them, etc. I'm sure popularity also plays a role as I think traditionally hatches have always garnered a bit more attention than sedans.
@@sachinnair91true I do live in an area with lower than average rates, though still struggle to think that anywhere has insurance premiums over $4-500 a month for a single vehicle, which is what one of these cars would typically run someone.
@@Jfarmerthunder holy what? That’s so incredibly expensive, not sure what factors play into that especially since it’s liability only. I can see $500 for 6 months, but not $500 a month. I think the only times I’ve seen rates that high was for new drivers in the UK.
Thank you Brian for making this video on affordable new cars. As a poor American with no health insurance and who earns minimum wage, I sure do appreciate it!!
Most manufacturer-filmed b-roll doesn't include base models. Trust me, we would use it. We include the base price in the video and you are at full liberty to head over to the OEM configurator to see what a base model looks like for yourself 👍
@@saintsubie6661 Because we deal with press fleets for our vehicles just like most other outlets. Unfortunately, they rarely, if ever put base models in circulation.
This is a very nice video. I know this, but many other people probably don't. I chose a Kicks, but I looked at the Venue. This was just the right length with a nice view of each car, nice and concise.
Do these prices include cost of ownership? A little more expensive hybrid from a brand that has a good reliability rating, might be less expensive! Maybe one of these models in hybrid (if they make it) might be a little more but will save you that and more over a 7 year ownership period (if not longer). Also, often, while we feel the itch for a change, it might be better to simply get the old car you know repaired and keep the oil changed and yearly maintenance done on it for sure. Getting it detailed by a pro in and out can also make it feel like new!
The versa is much more safer, powerful, bigger than the mirage, and its cheaper. It doesn't make any sense to get the mirage, both are japanese cars. Only thing mirage wins at is gas mileage , but its only a 3 cylinder and extremely underpowered.
@@sachinnair91 really? They could have took it off and be the cheapest car in america. Its a factor in the price. I test drove a 2014 mirage and ita just too small and unsafe for my taste
Every one of these cars you’ve shown will keep you in the poor house with depreciation and out of warranty repairs…big depreciation and big repairs. Cut your daily and monthly expenses and buy a better car.
