I have a 20k budget and I'm trying to find a car that is:
not too boring (manual available + some power)
decent size that I can fit a large breed dog or some 22" luggage (assume rear seats folded)
a subwoofer that came with factory so I can blast EDM
low insurance premiums
decently reliable
not too bad mpg
holds value or little depreciation over 5 years
and Juke nismo RS has:
1.6L I4 turbo 6 spd manual
a hatchback-like cargo volume
Rockford Fosgate 8" subwoofer
relatively low insurance premiums
seems to be reliable
mid to high 20s mpg
seems to be at the bottom of value (~8k)
besides the horrendous look, Juke nismo RS seems to hit every point on paper, but I'm also thinking if there's anything else at that price tag that would be a better option, any ideas?
