    GOD DAMN IT. I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A COROLLA. Can anyone recommend another reliable car that says “I don’t give a shit about cars, my cat just hates ubers”?

      Buy a Corolla… Get a used one and have any service or maintenance you can’t do yourself done at a locally owned shop. It’s not ideal but it’s as good as it’s going to get

        Solid advice. Toyotas fall in value like any other car, then hit a few thousand and stay there forever. There’s a good reason for that.

        Between salvage, refurbished parts, and new old inventory, you can easily keep a 10 year old Toyota on the road for decades.

        Hyundai is abusing labor in its US factories. Not exactly a morally superior choice. Lateral move at best.

          Oof. Good to know. Ethically, there seems to be no real good options.

          Maybe a used vehicle with low ecological impact is the best moral choice at this point?
