This car, I would say an 8/10 or 9/10. One of the best options I've found so far.
It ticks a lot of boxes. And I'm also thinking about how high the sporty driving is on the priority list compared to other things.
Maybe a more comfortable car is a nice change of pace. The driving mode on the console was also set to comfort and not sport but I had no idea that could be changed.
My Lancer doesn't have all those fancy gizmos.
The short list is currently
Opel Corsa GS Line - 19.5k
100hp, duotone red/black, 2021
Spoiler: (click to show)
Too expensive for an Opel. Somewhat weak engine. Nice interior though. 7.5/10
i30 N-Line - 16.5k
140hp, LED, 18" rims, red, 2019

(more or less the same car as the Mercedes but not as fast from 0 - 100, N-Line detailing not as nice as AMG detailing and this one isn't nearby) 8/10
Mazda 3 2.0 SkyActiveX Comfort Sedan - 20k
180hp, 2020
Spoiler: (click to show)
Mixed on the exterior of this particular Mazda model, very nice overall 8/10
VW Golf, Honda Civic, Lexus CT 200h, Lexus IS and Audi A1 too.
The Lexus aren't in a great state and Honda is quite rare in NL, which will make maintenance expensive. Also boring colors on these.
Anyway the guy is gonna call me tommorow. Let's see if he accepts an offer of 16k.
I might just keep the Lancer and go with 2 cars or rent it out to some co-workers who want to share a car.
Unless the guy goes for 14k with the Lancer as a trade in. But I doubt he'll go that low.
I know a couple of places that will offer me 2k - 3k for the Lancer. They can sell it for 5k or 6k.
