@@jamesmedina2062 In Poland, eastern europe. I see tons of these every day on the streets, both as private owned and company fleet cars, sometimes as squad cars too. Almost all cop cars here are wagons or vans(not like Honda oddysey more like Mercedes Sprinter or VW transporter/multivan), save for unmarked sedan bmws or skodas. There are suvs here too, but they usually are driven by rich people, smaller suvs and crossovers i find chosen mostly by people afraid of curbs in cities. Storage space wise having used and driven both wagons and suvs within the family i can say that wagons have same or even better space in the trunk than most suvs and crossovers. Say Audi Q7 doesnt have actually that much more space than Corolla wagon or Avensis wagon we used to have. Avensis was european equivalent of Camry, Corolla wagon taken its role for now as irs discontinued and we just have USDM camry hybrids, but sadly only sedans. I slept in the back of that avensis comfortably couple of times with rear seats folded flat. Q7 is only a tiny bit wider and and has slightly higher window line side of ground clearence. Total trunk height and length is pretty much the same. Which is quite bizzare given how much "bigger" Q7 itself is. As for wagons in US i think only full out wagon that doenst have stupidly inflated price(ie consting more than suv of simialar size) is Subaru Outback. It is lifted up, but unlike suvs not stretched up, and with shorter rear end. I think SUVs or vans are only ever needed if someone desperately needs a 3rd row. As long as you only need 4/5 seats then wagon is a much better choice. They are more efficient fuel wise and handle nicely too. People also tow with these and even smaller cars all the time here in case they need more room or have too dirty cargo for wagon's interior, tho i seen people who just put carpets or just have workhorse old wagons and use them as pickup trucks carrying timber in the back. Back when my parents were young people had to make do with tiny fiat 126 cars(it was successor of classic fiat 500, built on a license, you can see how it is on Garbage Time an australian has it there and its hilarious. Because its all families could hope for in PRL era Poland. And this tiny micro level car had to make do as family car, trip car and everything in between. There were couple bigger cars but these werent as easy to get hold off, it was usually for people higher in the pecking order until it was sold off second hand. Having moved up to western europe and japanese cars in the early 90s after becoming a free state it was quite liberating. Simple 5 door hatchback like a Golf or Corolla was roomy, reliable and fast compared to 70s based licensed fiat and fiat derived cars we were making until then. Having just as much as you need was just something we do. What i see nowadays and hear from my own family is my mother and sister pushing for suvs "because they're safer" or that they want to seat higher. And safety aspect i disagree on. It a bit if a problem because SUVs are blocking visibility for everyone even in other suvs, which just makes it harder to see traffic lights, pedestriabs and in general in cities, so i woild argue it makes everyone less safe. Anyway i hope you enjoy reading my thoughts on this. 😅

You can set it to constantly adjust and it will make small adjustments to look for better performance for your specific car, or you can lock it and it will use the maps that are installed. It increased my whp by a bit over 54 & torque by 50 on 93. I've been playing with eco, VERY cautiously because from the very beginning the car ran rich. Rich enough that you can clean the exhaust in within a hundred miles you would have significant soot. Stalk my every fuel mileage was been 28.5 over 50k miles. On eco I've gotten as good as 32 without really changing my driving style or feeling any different than stock on 93. On the 93 tune fuel mileage has been 29, with significantly more power. I'm chalking that up to more efficiently using the fuel it has to make power. Otherwise the car is stock except the spacers to make the bbk fit (going to buy wheels the next time I need tires).

Having a sheer, flat panel for my temp controls or audio is going to force me to rely my sense of vision rather than touch since there's no feedback from a physical button.

I have the 180hp 2.0 hybrid wagon ("Sports Tourer" in this market) and it's far from glamorous but it's absolutely brilliant as everyday all-purpose transport. Have done about 27,000 miles in it over the last two years and I have several times done between eight and nine hours in a day in it, not just on motorways but also on winding rugged mountain roads between the North of England and Scotland. Always super comfortable, always does what I need, fast enough for every day. The 2.0 hybrid is much more muscular at part throttle and mid-revs, there is so much less of the revvy rubber band effect that annoys some people, but it doesn't bother me. I have other cars I also use on the same routes which are now mostly relegated to non-salty season, my E39 530i, my 944 Turbo and my R129 500SL, and they all have their strengths and delights, but this Corolla never comes up feeling inadequate. Mine's on 17", which is a sweet spot, the 16" wheels are good too but the 18" option rides less well. The 2.0 gets extra soundproofing and acoustic glass too, at least in the UK market. Sure it's an undramatic unglamorous car but it's extremely capable of making progress on challenging roads and it's a very, very good car objectively. The new Civic (all 2.0 180hp hybrid drivetrains in the UK) is of considerable interest as we may get one of those to replace another daily, but you're not going to feel short-changed with either

It helps them be flexible and save tens of millions per year when supply chain issues happen and they are certain we will have more pandemics in teh future and they want to remain nimble and not have a bloated amount of inventory out there. It goes deeper than that but I can’t remember everything.

And my siblings that got old cars, well they backed into things and hit things and generally had tons of fiends in and out putting lots of wear and abuse on those cars.

I liked the acceleration, larger interior and trunk space, 10.25 " screen(s) and ventilated seats on the Elantra. The Corolla rides much smoother, has more comfortable seats and gets a bit better gas mileage. I also like the optional JBL stereo over the Elantra's Bose but both sound good within the small cabins. The Corolla was also $2K cheaper but had to drive over 250 miles from So CA to get MSRP as dealer markups started at $1,500 PLUS extra unwanted options (door edge guards, etc.). I wanted a commuter vehicle that would last me several years and had previous success with a Camry and a Solara Convertible so I felt comfortable purchasing the Corolla,

A medium-trim, non-hybrid version might make even more sense for many, with 31-hp more (and no battery pack weight) for a better driving experience, and even greater simplicity and lower purchase price. The hatchback version would have been more appealing if Toyota hadn't shortened it so much in the rear.
