So I'm in the market for a new car. New new. The used market is fucking stupid and apparently my almost 10 year old Honda is worth $15k trade-in.

My first thought was to stick with Honda, but they seem to have paired their trim levels down and now the base model comes with almost nothing and they don't have the options to add things. You have to go up a trim level. Even the mid trim is lacking features my current mid trim Honda has.

My next thought was Toyota. I was onboard until I read you can't do remote start unless you pay a monthly subscription. Not only is that fucking retarded, that's a deal breaker for me.

So I'm not sure where to look now. What are the Poalr suggestions?

Things I need in a new car: - reliability - good gas mileage - remote start and auto lock (crazy that this isn't standard these days) - Android Auto support

Things I'd like to have in a new car: - wireless android auto\phone charge - moon roof - heated seats - not ghey looking

Chevy Trax, the $20,500 crossover/SUV is made in Korea/Mexico and it's price could change due to tariffs.

This information is correct, not to mention its a hunk of garbage.

It's a turbo 3 cylinder. Of course its a piece of garbage.

It's my emergency choice though.

Lots of cars are Turbo 3 now. You'd be surprised. Many Japanese manufacturer's have been using forced induction 3s for years now.

The Trax is designed to meet other markets (Asia / Europe) and sold here. It did well in its initial sales because of price point solely. But GM is known for many many years of pushing garbage at a low price
