I own a Honda Fit. It's small, is reasonably petrol efficient, has actual dials and physical knobs for an interface, and needs just basic maintenance to run reliably.

Of course they've been discontinued in Canada.

They’ve been discontinued is the important part, anything decent gets discontinued.

It seems Toyota is about the only car company building anything interesting. Akio Toyoda is this generations Bob Lutz or Ferdinand Piëch

I'd buy another one. The Fit is a fantastic economy car. I want an EV, but older cars don't track. That's more important to me than the convenience of an EV.

Toyota is betting on hydrogen instead of electric for some stupid fucking reason.

Electric works fine in industrialized suburban blahsville but it doesn’t work well outside of it. Toyota dominates in the non industrial nations so it needs to remain flexible, I wish more auto companies would do blue sky type research
