    This is a good target, small but roomy, useful for commuting. The BMW i3 was essentially this but at a higher price point, it didn’t sell as well as anticipated.

      The i3 was also targeted at people without eyes, but that market rarely overlaps with drivers.

      I am also Canadian, so take into account my currency’s value is a little shitty.

      I paid 38k CAD for my Mazda 3 Sport with AWD. That figure is probably closer to around 30k USD. For that price I could have gotten a Hyundai Kona, but there’s no way I would have been able to afford a 45k USD BMW. The Kona is also closer to the hatchback form factor as a crossover, but it looks like it’d ride too high for my liking.
