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!
Practical can mean a lot of things. If I could only have one car it'd be something at least somewhat offroad capable, as vehicles that can leave the pavement can go more anywhere than a vehicle that can't. Probably a Subaru. That said, I'd also consider a $2000 car more practical than a $50,000 car, so I'd actually go for an old Subaru, or, as it worked out irl, a 2007 Volvo XC70 that I've lifted 4 inches.
