Dealership near me has got some 2024-25 model Mitsubishis for like 19k new. They look pretty sweet.

Chevrolet Trax can be found between $20-21k USD but... when I look at inventory, nothing within ~75 miles is under $25k.

Not a horrible vehicle for the price.

Mazda 3 used to be a $20k car (and even less before that) but now starts just over $24k (sedan) / $25k (hatchback).

TBF even at $25k the Mazda 3 is probably “nicer” than anything else you can get for that price.

Absolutely. While I personally don't advocate buying anything new, if you gotta, it's a great way to go.

My previous car was a 2015 Mazda 3 Grand Touring bought with 8,000 miles on it for $20k (about $26-27k MSRP new). All the luxuries and bells and whistles!
