    It costs typical compact car money.

    IMHO, Toyota Supra Mk4 Twin Turbo.
    $45k for a 320 HP 90s car? Shit, the ZR1 Vette is basically the same, but with more power, for a quarter of that.

    Golf VII was introduced in 2013. In Serbia basic version of Golf costs 18K€ with taxes. Basic version of Renault Megane IV, which was introduced in 2016, costs 14K€ with taxes. RIP logic.

    There is a reason. For example, Autocar gave the Golf 4.5 stars and the Renault 3.

    Renaults are European American cars - seem like lots of value, but you usually get what you pay for.

    It costs standard small van money.

    My contenders are the Citroen 2CV and old VW Microbuses - €10k for a good one is a total ripoff.

    Certain American vans are a bit cheaper than the Combo though.

    That's 4-8x what you'd pay for a similar-vintage Corvette ZR1.

    Toyota Corolla AE86, probably the most overpriced car ever. 10-40K for an 80s 130 hp compact. Are there even weebs that rich?

    You can probably find a 25 year old Maserati or Alfa for less than 20K.

    Any non-Malaysian branded car sold in Malaysia.
    For example:
    Brand new Toyota Camry = USD 43K
    Brand new Toyota 86 = USD 75K
    Brand new BMW 530i = USD 102K

    Any new german car. As duster said, you can buy a better looking french car which isn'tworse than the german one for way less. The golf is the perfect example. For the price of a mid spec golf you can buy a 4wd dacia duster with all of the bells and whistles.

    Also any new Japanese car. A new Korean car is cheaper and just as reliable these days.
