- Volkswagen Golf: The sensible Golf: more boot than a saloon, and it left the US market in 2021.
- Honda Fit: Astonishing space for its size and genuinely reliable. Noisy, slow, and long discontinued.
- Nissan Leaf: Rated at 212 miles when new, but the passively cooled pack loses range in heat, so budget for closer to 175. A commuter only.
- Kia Soul: Boxy means space: more headroom and cargo than anything this cheap. No AWD, ever.
