I really hope it’s not a Pontiac aztek or something.
I never thought I would see someone happy that their vehicle is more powerful than a Corolla
We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
So FWD. quick. but something serviceable with parts from auto zone?

Saab with GM V6

But you did say some would rather walk.
Maybe like a Focus hatch or Fiesta? Fiesta seems too new, though.
Ok, Focus hatch/wagon ORRRRR even a Taurus wagon.

Couldn’t be a PT or HHR, could it?
Fits the description so far.
I don’t think anyone here would say “walk rather than Saab.”

Not a wagon ... so I'm back to just Focus hatch.
ORRRR... oooo... how about Malibu Maxx!
I'm assuming PT and HHR are out since most consider those wagons, no?

Focus ZX5 or ZX3.
The rather walk than drive certainly points towards the PT Cruiser/HHR or as you said the Malibu Maxx.

Would be fun to weld the back doors, chop off the rear roof, and replace those awful bumpers. Would look like an old farm truck, for sure.
EDIT: couldn't help myself. Very rough, but I ain't got a lot of time here. haha.

Was messing around on Craigslist and just typed in "Prius," found several, as well as on FB Marketplace. Lots of junk. People wanting thousands for ones with bad hybrid batteries. Found this one miscategorized in the parts category, but the description made it clear that it ran and drove just fine. Met the owner last night.
Unlike 90%+ of the ones you would find for sale, it's a one owner car. The edge of the hood is dented from a low speed deer hit, but it has decent cosmetics for having 222,000 miles. Which brings us to the common/expensive repair, the hybrid battery. She replaced it four years ago, and it died again recently. She resigned herself at that point to sell the car to a junkyard and buy a new one. She bought a new Prius Prime and was ready to junk this one. Someone told her to see a guy up in Indiana, and he was able to rebuild the pack very inexpensively so she could get more than junk value for the car.
Asking price was $2,900, I offered $2,500, and we agreed on $2,700. I'm going to give the car a good Italian tuneup to try to shake out any mechanical issues before I sink a lot of time or money into fixing cosmetics. The interior has some scratches and stains, but the materials have held up amazingly considering the age and mileage--nothing has disintegrated.
Must have been one of those illiterate Hoosiers that fixed the Prius battery ones that only mispronounce words -ones that @kyfdx knows

That’s what I thought - Autozone has parts for that?
Lol, I meant maintenance parts. Transmission fluid, oil filters, cabin filters, etc. It needs some of those black plastic push pins that secure trim pieces. I’m going to have to check my stash to see whether I already have any.
Also, whomever last filled the oil overfilled it by about a quart. Going to have to bust out the Topsider to suck some of it out.
So that one is not full electric but is a hybrid Prius?
