Boxy means space: more headroom and cargo than anything this cheap. No AWD, ever.

- Volkswagen Golf: The sensible Golf: more boot than a saloon, and it left the US market in 2021.
- Subaru Impreza: Standard all-wheel drive at the cheapest price anyone offers it. Noisy and slow.
- Chevrolet Bolt EV: The cheapest usable EV range you can buy, with slow charging and firm seats.
- MINI Cooper Hardtop: The most fun per dollar here, with a firm ride and four seats at the absolute most.
