It’s as if, just maybe, they should keep building this.
With gasoline co$ting over $4 a gallon (USA)...maybe this ‘entry-level’ ICE vehicle should stay until a subcompact replacement is found.
...when I bought my first new car I narrowed it down to 2 cars based on price mpg and reliability record.
It’s about the only thing even remotely affordable right now. And it’s going away.
Buying a $14k new car with a warranty, while unglamorous, is more reliable than a used car which likely will have 80k+ miles on it.
There are a lot of people, in my area anyway, that travel over an hour one way to work. They need cheap high mpg transportation.
...my first new car purchase was a Geo Metro in 1988
With the average price of gas being north of $4 maybe GM shouldn’t kill all of their subcompacts? Ya think?
People will just buy
Mitsubishis and Kias instead, not Bolts.
The
Mitsubishi Mirage series is the a real competitor, but we’ll see whether Nissan keeps it on or not.
