Talking about cars under 30k, then go ahead and show top trim with all options that cost up to 35k. It's better to show the lowest trim
A better comparison would be to have an "as-tested" vehicle priced under $30,000 as well. The Kona included around $10,000 worth of options, which gives a misleading impression of what to expect when selecting a Kona under $30,000. It's more useful to have a real-world sense of what you're actually getting at that price point.
WTH? Best SUVs under $30k and the winner is a $35K, $8k more than the 2nd place winner??????
The CX-30 being last in this list is insane
Relaibility for me is best than modern tech.
Affordable vehicles are getting harder to find, but they're still out there as shown by these nine extra-small SUVs. However, at this lower price point, all of them have compromises, making your preferences all the more important. What features are most important for you to have in a budget-friendly vehicle? Let us know in the comments below!
I learned not to trust Edmunds. Lol.
As a father of two little girls, I can appreciate y’all putting in the car seat. This helps me get a better perspective on cars. Thank you.
Comes down to the HRV and the Crosstrek !
