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.
If the Auto Industry asked you to park outside your neighbor's house at night and HOOONKK HOOONKK would you? Would you do it day after day after day after day? Then please lock your vehicle Quietly.... No Honk. ... Light Flash Only.... so people can sleep at night and have peace during the day. The Light Flash Signal confirms your car is locked and armed. You do not need the HONK. The Auto Industry Really screwed up with this technology. They need to GET RID OF THE HONK. Thank you.
Honking when people are sleeping is Not OK. Please lock your vehicle quietly for peace in our communities. LIGHT FLASH O N L Y CONFIRMS YOUR VEHICLE I S LOCKED AND ARMED. Please break the HONK habit. Thank you.

Starting to feel like I can’t even afford a car, much less a house.
You cant afford a 25k car with financing? 😮 oh no

It was just 12 years ago that the Versa was only $10k, inflation has gotten insane.
I don’t think a Versa was ever that cheap, at least in terms of MSRP.
@@ALMX5DPi remember it was 9995, and had commercials about it. It was probably 11k after everything before tax.
@@wl6020 ah you're right, looked up and found similar for the base model sedan. I think I more remember the hatch pricing which was a few grand more.
@@ALMX5DP i wonder why the hatch would cost more, isn't it less material?

Car insurance payment is higher than car payment nowadays
Is it? I’m paying $719 every six months, for two cars. Maybe under 25 rates are substantially higher?
@@ALMX5DPalso depends on location, you must be living somewhere with less accidents

Friend got quoted 500/month for 6 months on 03 crv liability only no prior accidents

Wish you had actually shown the base model in the video when you displayed the base price
Thought they were gonna talk a little bit about each car not just say the make and model.
Hey guys, can you try next time…when showing the cheapest cars to present the actual base model and not the fully equipped?

Why can’t KBB make their own video (or at least take pictures) of the base model to include in the video?

That trax looks great
The Mitsubishi Mirage is basic but has everything you need plus is very reliable and comes with amazing warranty
Great video!😸

Hyundai Elantra Hybrid 👍
Kia forte,nice car but no spare tire.instead a patch kit??left the dealership!
the chevy trax looks the most modern for sure
Looks like a dream.
A nice guide.
Music is pretty good.
Some good value
No Honda or Toyota on this list
Hondas and Toyotas aren't cheap. They're good cars, people will pay more for them and Honda and Toyota know that.
One of the worst investments known to man.
Joke that these cars are that much. Tops should be 14K fully loaded for any of this garbage.
Buy used

New Mirages also get 2 years of free maintenance and a legendary 10 year powertrain warranty

Who will buy a mirage? 😂🤣
