They're not, its just that decent electric drive trains are kinda expensive. Old 4 cylinder engines with simple transmissions are actually pretty cheap to manufacture in comparison. There are some that work fine (Mini Cooper Se for example), but they usually have a fairly short range of under 100 miles.

$70k in my area in NC. It's a lovely 2bd/1ba, and can keep the rain off your head (mostly). It totally wouldn't be condemned if actually inspected.

OK, thanks for the answer, it been bugging me for a bit and I couldn't definitively answer it. I've heard the argument that something hydrolysis would result in fresh water being decreased, good to know my first feeling (that that argument was bs) is true.

Out of curiosity, would you end up with the same resultant amount of water before and after hydrolysis? I'm aware some energy would be lost, but would hydrolysis actually decrease the amount of water? (sorry if this a dumb question, but I haven't actually seen it explicitly answered before)

That if you know how to code, you understand how computers work and understand really complicated math concepts.

Metalocalypse:The army of the doomstar.
I watched a ton of metalocalypse when I was younger, and was really annoyed when it got canceled on a cliff hanger. Cut to just a while ago, they finally made an end movie, which I watched as soon as it was available, yohohoho. I went ahead and bought the Blu-ray, just because I am so glad that they could get it financed and wanted to make sure that stuff like that would continue to be encouraged. I'm not gonna say it is the most intellectually stimulating plot, but it has played a part in shaping my darker humor.

I mean, they often do. But if the rents too damn high and you don't get paid enough, there isn't much that knowing how to budget is going to help with.

I was gonna recommend a newer mazda (newer than 2014) as it is often best for the money from what I've seen lately, but if you are in the subcompact market, Crosstreks are pretty hard to beat. Been reviewing the market as well to maybe get a newer car in a year or so I've looked a reviews on a lot of drivetrains. I've heard of some issues with older crosstreks (mostly just issues with oil consumption, and some CVT fears), although if you are getting new/very slightly used they probably would be great choice (probably better with the 2.5l engine). I am a bit biased as my mother used to have a outback with an EJ engine (those would reliably blow a headgasket, or two in her case), which probably has tarnished my view of boxer engines for long term reliability, which is why I generally don't recommend them.

Even if they got an immobilizer, people might still try to break into them given their reputation for being easily stolen. At the very least, they'd have to worry about broken windows and messed up steering column stuff. It's probably a decent idea to sell and move on if they can afford to, although I'd personally go with another brand than Subaru.

Not disagreeing, but I live in the US and even if that became a focus of the government, it would take a decade or two to actually get most of the rail necessary.

That's more medium duty, and yeah, that probably could be converted to electric fairly easily (albeit at a higher cost). I was mostly thinking about longer distance travel, where the main goal is the most amount of uptime and you can't afford to park and charge for 3-4 hrs every 200 miles. And that is usually the most expensive model, with most getting less milage and/or taking longer to charge.
