I'm talking about a car that is like, a normal car. Not a sports car, not a classic car, I'm talking about a regular, practical, modern car for just driving around anywhere.
I would, personally, get myself a 2020-2022 Nissan Versa. It's one of the few sedans on Brazil that has a 1.6 liter engine, and while the fact it has a CVT is kind of crummy I just really like how it looks and all the bells and whistles it comes with. And since I'm in Brazil, we get a dark blue version that looks amazing!
Ever since we got rid of our more-or-less family cars and got a "real" van I'm not going back. We're driving a Mercedes eVito (which is an electric Metris in the US, iirc) but just any will do. Family travels need space. I got so tired of having to prioritise beach shovels and frisbees against each other; being able to simply throw anything we want to take into the trunk is godsent. Driving around whole birthday parties is just so much better than asking neighbours for a taxi service. And yeah, I wouldn't ever go back to combustion engines, but I guess that's a matter of preference.
