#Toyota #AWD
At our local dealers... Mazda CX30 AWD is selling for $25,805. Subaru Impreza sport AWD can be had for $26,634. You can pick up a Honda HR-V LX AWD for $26,667, the CR-V AWD starts at $35,315. Hyundai have a Kona for $24,250, Santa Cruz for $26,900 and a Tuscon for $27,500. Toyota Camry LE AWD $28,780, Corolla Cross LE for $29,129. Our local Nissan dealership has a Rogue S AWD at $32,005 or the Altima SR for $31,725? Can you find a new 2024 AWD for ~$30K and under? Yes. We need more reviews of these type of vehicles and less of the overpriced $60K and up... as entertaining and out-of-reach as they may be.
Damn son excellent research
Thank you for the info
who is your local dealer? I am interested in the Mazda and Kona
2025 Toyota Camry LE AWD Hybrid 52 mpg average. Approx $30K. Toyota got it right
My wife and I picked up a 2024 Mazda CX5 in December. Very well equipped for a base model with standard awd and it was $30k with 0% financing for 60 months.
That's a great deal. Wonder if Toyota will do that😂 prolly not
Great choice. Super solid, fun to drive. Simple
Great pick! Made in Japan, big touchscreen, leatherette seats, heated front seats, rear air vents, push button start, smart entry, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert etc. The base Select trim has everything you need!!
Mazda makes a good one.
Is it out of the door price of $30k or is it before taxes and fees?
Hummer EV failed twice, left Roman stranded, and he still gets excited when he sees one. Something is wrong with the man. Get him help.
My local Mazda dealership has a CX-30 S (base model) for $25,750. 8" of ground clearance as well as a good AWD system. That is about as inexpensive as you can get for a new AWD vehicle.
Except for a Subaru Impreza with full time awd (not torque on demand to the rear wheels when the front wheels slip) for $24115 But ground clearance is only like 5.1 inches. A Crosstrek with 8.7" gc is $26,540 You could buy a brand new impreza in 2019 for a little over $19,000.
With the relationship you have with Subaru it’s not surprising you didn’t hit one of their dealerships. If you’re a sucker for boxy exteriors, I just bought a loaded 2024 Forester Sport for $31k. They had a base model for just under $29k. They also had a base Crosstrek for $26,800 and an Impreza Sport for under $26k.
they totally skipped the all wheel drive corolla cross the msrp for the 2024 AWD is $ 26,510
If the difference between the base model and what you got is only 2k I don't think loaded is the right word you're looking for.
@@Kahless00 I’m not in charge of their pricing structure. The sticker for mine was a little over $33k but they had incentives and were willing to deal since they have the redesigned 2025 Forester coming out soon.
Come on guys, it’s time to end the war with Subaru. You can pick up a base Impreza for $25k and a nicer Sport for under $29k.
@@guylr7390I agree, but TFL tried to make ammends and move on. It's Subaru that refuse. Subaru of America is captured by idiots and has been for 10+ years. We're literally waiting for retirements or deaths for that company to get competent leadership.
Buying a car that was built over a year ago and sat baking in the sun for a year while barely moving is not a bargain...That takes a toll on a car.
No fkn sht. Especially the dealerships that sit out in the Arizona and nevada southwest desert😂
You can buy a brand new Mitsubishi outlander with 3rd row seating it's the cheapest 3rd row seating vehicle and you can get a base model with good fuel efficiency for $26,000 we bought a 2018 and only paid like $20,000 new and we have put 85,000 miles on it so far and do mostly city driving which is hard on vehicles and all we have done is regular full synthetic oil changes and put new tires and brakes and a battery on once it has had zero problems and been 100% reliable and we live in eastern Kansas with cold winters with snow and ice and 100 degree summers so it has seen it all
Subaru probably has the least expensive new awd cars
1. Toyota Rav4, 2. Nissan Rogue, 3. Buick. The Rav4 is slightly more, but you'll make that up in dealer servicing and reliability over the next 5-10 years.
The biggest problem with RAV4 is how noisy they are! I have a hybrid limited and it is as noisy as my Wrangler was.
The RAV4 is bulletproof, but it has more tire and engine noise than a School Bus.
@@garygeorge9648 I agree, they don't put much sound deadening in most of the lower end Toyota models, even the Limited's. I had a 2013 Highlander Limited, and it too was a bit tinny when you closed the doors, and could have been quieter at highway speeds, but nothing ever broke on it. You have to jump up to the top models like the Avalon or switch to Lexus. Maybe it's planned that way, who knows. However as a Power Engineer and Millwright, I appreciate the reliability of most Toyota models. Although, I believe they are making them a little cheaper that they used to. Time will tell. But lots of bad reports on that 1.3 turbo and transmission in the GM products. I would never buy one, but that's just my opinion.
@@user-tb7rn1il3qidk why but I kinda like that about it. Gives it a bit of soul or edge I guess.
Dont buy the buick its built in china now
We just bought a 2023 Ford Explorer ST and we got something like almost $5k off MSRP, no dealer's fees, and 0% financing. Ours is an ST so it's absolutely not cheap, but apparently that deal is being offered on all 2023 Explorer's regardless of trim level. Definitely excellent deals if you can find some of the lower trims like an XLT or something. Edit: I forgot to mention that I am in the Denver metropolitan area as well.
Subaru Crosstrek, base, $26,540. Forester, base $28,440. Both include shipping.
It's junk cvt. No thanks.
If that dealership took over a year to test the camera cable when diagnosing a camera communication problem, you need a new dealer. They either don’t care and just charged the hours to warrantee service for an easy payday without trying to fix anything, or they are completely incompetent and need a written procedure that tells them what to do for any given symptom instead of actually being able to investigate and figure out an issue themselves. Johnson’s Auto Plaza is on my list of places to avoid for any vehicle service, which also drops it lower on my list of places to buy a vehicle (especially used).
Cheapest is typically not the least expensive. If you want affordable four-wheel-drive, Corolla Cross, Honda HRV, perhaps a Mazda, and if you enjoy that sort of thing, maybe a Subaru. Wouldn't go anywhere near a General Motors or jeep dealership
Toyota is still number 1 for reliability then Mazda. Honda has had some engine issues in the last 5 years. I've always been a Honda fan but you have to be careful of what engine and year you buy.
Yeah but tfl guys are not your average Americans they are rich. They can get whatever they want and trade it in within 1 or 2 years
@@kamikazikaizer I think you mean trade it in with half of their money gone without value on those junk vehicles. Just wasting their money. 😂 absolute stupidity and noone is envying that.
You completely forgot Subaru
You can get a full time awd, standard, base Forester for $28,440 - and that's without any discounts; or a base full-time awd, standard, base Outback for $30,240; before discounts ($1800 more vs the Forester).
Here in Puerto Rico, Toyota Rav4 XLE $45K!! Kia Sorrento $61K!! GOLF TYPE R $61K, CIVIC TYPE R $62K COROLLA GR $60K, TUNDRA $130K!! HERE IS INSANE!!
We just bought our Subaru Impreza base model for $23,000
I love that Buick and the body style is amazing. You cannot beat the price, for the quality, fit and finish!!!
Honda HRV… Toyota Corolla… Subaru Impreza… lots of affordable options. Also… 5,000 miles is not enough lol. The average a year is 12-15K. Theyre doing that offer to get people in the door.
If you can wait for 2026 RAV4 folks, it will be the best compact AWD SUV on the market.
I think that there is a over supply issue but it has not been going on long enough yet for dealers to catch up and reflect it in their prices
My wife bought the Rav4 le awd, freaking awesome in the winter! I'm old school drive a frame on 4wd Xterra, honestly the Rav was better on the street during ice.
I have a 4Runner and a nearly 20-year-old Volvo XC70, and no question the XC is much better on icy and packed snow conditions. Once the snow gets above about 10", which rarely happens anymore, then the 4Runner comes into its own.
Got a lightly used 2022 Subaru Forester Sport with only 6k miles for $29k. Love it so far, but coming from a Tesla I’m still getting used to stopping for gas again. 😭
Very fun and informative video, thanks guys
New 2024 Subaru Impreza 2.0i MSRP $25,267, around $23,304 now at many dealerships.... You're welcome
Yep son got one. Got them to put a spare tire in it.
I love how now "cheap" and "affordable" is basically 30k, and in order to make it seem cheap you have to compare it to a top of the line luxury SUV. Even when interest rates were being held artificially low for years, 30k was NOT CHEAP. A cheap car was 10 - 20k. With interest rates the way they are today, even a 25k car is EXPENSIVE for the average person. Because it isn't the sticker price, it's the monthly payment. And if you have to stretch the payments out to past double the life of the warranty in order to have an affordable monthly payment, it's an EXPENSIVE car. I know it wasn't your intent, but you have basically proven the argument people are making: That vehicle prices are out of control and aren't affordable.
A cheap house is 100-200k. Just like cheap houses, cheap cars no longer exist. You are no longer the target audience, and there is always others willing to pay the higher prices while you pound sand.
The last time cars were sold for 10k was 2002, and those were cars like the Toyota Echo and Hyundai Accent base model. It's been over 2 decades. Just look at the price difference percentage between 1960 and 1980 cars, or 1980-2000 and this shouldn't be shocking. If anything, with how much more capable cars have become its actually great value.
@@markcoopers1930 Well you're wrong. I bought brand new Hyundai Accents in 2001 and 2012 for roughly $10k and a brand new '17 Mirage for about $11k. To pretend like prices haven't shot up since the pandemic is either ignorant or deceptive.
@@kwilliams4031 2012 was a decade before the pandemic. Who's being deceptive? The lowest MSRP on a 2012 Accent (GLS sedan, manual) was $12,545. If it was had for $10k it means the market thought it was a steaming pile compared to everything else, to where it should have gone straight off the lot to cash for clunkers. The Mitsubishi Mirage absolutely is a pile at 78hp, and the MSRP for those were 12995 in the cheapest form (ES manual hatchback). The fact it was that cheap msrp in 2017 has to do with the fact it was 2 feet shorter in 2017 than that cramped compact Accent was in 2012, which is already a subcompact.
@@markcoopers1930 That's a lot of writing just to admit you're wrong.
The first mistake was going to a GM motors instead of a Subaru one, where you’d find better deals for awd vehicles available
When you go to dealers that are in isolated areas, they can get away with charging more because theh know youre not gonna drive 3 hours away to find a better deal. They got you where they want you by being the only dealer for a specifix brand for that area. Dealer prices are always nuts in my area because were 60+ miles away from the nearest dealer for any given car brand. When you get down to big metro areas with multiple dealerships that sell the same product within a fairly small area, you get extreme competition with dealers always wanting to take business from other dealers by slashing prices so the competing dealer doesnt get the sale. The LA area is a good example of this.
How could you not include mazda lol
Hi TFL. Can you do a video of the cheapest 2WD, please? Looking for a commuter and I'm in Texas. Great videos as always!
You bet
@@TFLcar yes cheapest 2WD vehicle would be awesome! I'm in Dallas Texas too!
I'd buy a well maintained used Corolla. Let someone else eat the depreciation. A good used Corolla with proper past and future maintenance will go 350,000 miles or more. I've seen it myself more than once. Cheers.
@@FrankyRedEyes Everyone I know, my own kin included, buy Toyotas specifically so they can be lax on maintenance. It's painful to see. At this point I'd need detailed receipts or some other physical proof of maintenance. Not taking anyone's word for it.
I paid about 23k for my 4Runner used back in 2019, at 4% it was still a $450 a month payment. With interest rates the way they are, I just don't see anything over 20K being "affordable". I have to imagine that at 7%, even that Trax is going to be a $500 a month payment.
Did I miss Honda and Mazda?
Why didn't you go to the best dealer Honda?
It is criminal that they didn't go to a Kia/Hyundai dealership. They offer some of the best prices in the marketplace and have great AWD options throughout the lineup including Santa Cruz, hybrids, electric, etc.
It's the Midwest. Travelling to just that handful of dealerships probably took more than a handful of hours and triple digit milage. Not like in civilization where 15 minutes will find you one of every automaker, and a Suzuki commercial truck garage to boot 😂
Kia /Hyundai vehicles are TRASH 🗑 Engines blowing up and everything TOYOTA IS KING !!!
@@markcoopers1930Colorado is not the Midwest…
The colors sure brightened up when you drove by those Challengers.
The absolute best AWD car is Subaru! The Impreza Hatchback starts at $24k! 👍
But they don't last....most old ones have had work done
Subaru Impreza or crosstrek would be obvious choices
This was nice, I appreciate you guys giving a realistic look at affordable AWD prices. It all still seems so expensive but this somehow made me feel a bit better about it.
Buying a Buick Encore is more like a rideshare. It will spend it's time at the dealership getting repaired all the time and they'll let you drive it every once in awhile 🤣
Great video guys, even though i have no use for an AWD vehicle where i live in CA (when it comes to cars and SUVs anyway, i like 4x4 trucks) its just fun to see how crazy new car prices are ans watch you guys hang out. Its relaxing. Some of my favorite memories as a kid is going with my mom to look at cars.
It’s been about 2 years since I had ordered and bought my previous Maverick FX4 4K Tow Pack with a couple of add on options and that was only $29K MSRP. Now im seeing lesser builds with higher price tags. Even the affordable Maverick was hit with price increases.
If your reason for AWD is that you live somewhere snowy with Colorado, then get a cheap 2wd and a set of good winter tires, and maybe a driving class if that's still not enough for you. Believe it or not here in Canada we do still use 2wd vehicles and the world doesn't end.
Corolla cross or rav 4?
I bought a Corolla cross for my wife, she hates it, and honestly it feels super cheap.
Corolla cross is a good beginners car. But rav 4 is better all around
RAV4 hands down .
I was able to secure a new RAV4 hybrid and 3k off making it the same price as the conventional LE model, 33k. Very happy.
check out the subaru legacy
Car guys looking at cars without coffee. I like it.
I’m looking at getting a 2023 standard range Model 3 (I know not AWD) here in Florida and they are about $25-28k.
I like this episode you’re doing keep it up. Yeah maybe do it on what’s the cheapest EV available?. But I will look for the cheapest mini truck. We know it’s a Ford Maverick or cheapest car..
$14k new 2023 Bolt EUV after rebates although not AWD - I purchased my BOLT EUV for $14K brand new with all the available Colorado rebates, all taken off at purchase. Fed + state + CO Trade in = $21,000 dollars off. Very happy, and there is still inventory your dealers can get.
Is that the one with the recalled battery?
@@aussie2uGA all recalled Bolts would've had the battery replacement by now
This one wasn’t part of the recall, and I don’t think any 2023 model was. For what it’s worth, consumer reports gave this 2023 a “much better than average” score for predicted reliability. But for the price, it doesn’t have to last me 200,000 miles, although some people do have their 2018 Bolts at 200,000 to 300,000 miles with relatively little in the way unexpected repairs. The electric powertrain only has a total of 13 rotational parts, which is extremely low in the form of complexity. The battery also has a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty on it.
Back in December me and my dad went car shopping and around the 27th we bought a 2024 Toyota RAV4 the one in my profile picture. We have put 3000 miles since. It’s a lovely vehicle and I highly recommend it.
I have a friend that just got a smoking deal on a 2024 Buick Encore GX Sport Touring. He only paid $29,500. It has AWD, sunroof and power liftgate. I really like that vehicle and would love to have one for myself. :)
I'm looking at a mitsubishi outlander. I'd like to get a nicely equipped one for around 30-35k
Damn, you guys must hate Subaru.
Corolla cross LE awd, bigger than the 1st generation Rav's but smaller than the current Rav's. A little bit underpowered but great for a senior.
Resale value on that Rav4 should be class leading. Might be something to take into consideration, too.
Know someone with a new Chevy Trax, lots of problems with it, dealer blows it off. Buick probably the same issues. I would go for the Toyota Rav 4 or Camry, even if it was a little more. They will last a lot longer than the other ones.
Perhaps you could check with Jerry Lundegaard on how car dealerships keep track of their inventory, I think he misplaced a Tan Cierra but maybe things improved.
Wish y’all would do a review on the new Jeep Compass. Starts at $25,900 has select terrain four wheel drive a 2.0 liter turbo four cylinder and all the safety suites in the base model. A true bargain!
Maverick is what I would buy with my money. Surprisingly useful for multiple scenarios
"Cheap" is relatively, is your top end a used car, a regular car, a luxury car or a supercar? All those maybe too expensive for people who can't afford any car.
I have a 22 rav4 LE awd. Cheap is an understatement. Sure it's reliable outside the 3 alignments I've needed in the last 15k miles, first being at 350. The interior is on par with a early 00s toyota product - hilariously cheap. No variable speed intermittent wipers. No auto headlights. But does have auto high beams and adaptive cruise. Makes no sense. Swapping the wiper stalk for $250 to a unit with variable speed on it 'activates' the feature. Moronic to leave it out.
Here in California they're still asking a markup on Supposedly discounted trucks. GmC dealer
Hello which one is better after a year in reliability , no major issues look at the trouble the car connection guys are having with their new Hyundai Santa Fe only after 7 thousand miles!!!!
You guys in in the states get the best deals,here in Europe- land that Rav4 would sell for 60k euros and you would have to pre- order 6-8 months in advance
Also guys isn’t the Buick enclave just a rebadged Chevy track or would you get the v6 blazer also
What about Mazda?
Mazda cx 30 or cx 5 30k under
I heard Subaru has some great lease deals right now.
A GM product back at the dealership again for an electrical wiring problem. Same story over and over again for decades! 😂
Hope yall do more lot shopping dealers like to hide inventory sometimes.
It's crazy that high $20k to low $30k is considered "affordable"
Too bad they didn't have a corolla hybrid AWD! MSRP for those is right around $26k
You'd be crazy to BUY an EV right now. Leasing them is the way to go. The depreciation on them right now is the highest on record. Caredge reported yesterday finding a new-onthe-lot 2022 Mach-E that has an MSRP of $72k that they negotiated a $27k discount on (because its a 2022 and still hasn't sold) - but if you put a 2022 Mach-E with 500 miles into a trade-in calculator tool, you get ... $23k. Massive loss.
To buy a 2022 model year in 2024 would need a wild, wild discount.
Every time I think "that's not bad" I always end up disappointed when I go to the manufacturer's site to check out the car. Prices don't look like this in Canada 😂
was that your Ineos in the rearview when pulling into the Ford dealer?🤔
The Corolla cross awd base is $26,000
That Maverick was not AWD. It was the Hybrid.
I like that yellow Mustang GT.
Mazda cx-30.
Man you guys do this every time “cheap” video but show wicked expensive vehicles
Rogue has a cvt.
What's the cost of the compass
Toyota bZ4X on fire sale right now, nearly all AWD models
VW Taos 4Motion. $25,700 Autobarn Chicago.
What happened to 19k starting for the Maverick?
I left a posting on Subaru’s FacePlant page and told them they need to get over their butt hurt with TFL and start loaning them vehicles. They are only hurting themselves. I traded in my RAV4 XLE Hybrid on a Forester and except for gas mileage I moved up in quality.
Basicslly the same company as they share many components. I come out of an Outback into a RAV4 Hybrid and the seats are the same. They suck.
@@garygeorge9648 Hmmm. Maybe a bit of an exaggeration . . . Having owned Saabs and Volvos before I can’t understand why other manufacturers can’t make decent supportive and comfortable seats. The seats in the Saab 9-5 were in a class by themselves.
Too bad you guys don't work with Subaru...
My 2022 Chevy Equinox LT AWD. I don’t like the new Equinox. My lease is up in few months, and I’m not going replace it, as I won’t need my own personal car.
The Dodge Hornet is NOT A 46K car. Dodge, and even RAM, Jeep, GM and Ford are all brands that have to have cash on the hood incentives. If you paid sticker for that Hornet, that car not even a year later is worth nothing.
How reliable is a Chevy, Dodge or Jeep engine these days? I want to replace my 2012 Honda Pilot with 235k miles for something new because I want new tech and driver assistance. But my Pilot runs like new and is always up to date on all maintenance.
Do You Guys have payment’s to just like normal I can imagine what it does to your credit when your upside down 45,000 or does it not matter cause your a dealer
Rome, do a video of you negotiating a price with the dealership.
I like the Bronco sport, that's the one I would buy.
The Corolla Cross L AWD is around $26k.
The dealers don't make money "selling" cars. They make money financing cars and dealer installed upgrades, warranties and service contracts. However all that I've listed is still just a small percentage compared to the way they really make their money...the Service Dept. is why new car dealers make profit.
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Do all of those new vehicles actually get sold? Doesn't seem likely.
How do you not go to Kia or Hyundai they have affordable AWD I love my 22 Seltos and the MSRP is still under 25k
We don’t have a relationship with a Kia dealership so we don’t want to recommend someplace we don’t know.
Nissan is offering 0% for 72 months on Ariya to purchase. And Boulder Nissan is known for not having the best deals. If you’re in Colorado, swing over to Tynan’s Nissan, much better deals!
