@GabeLakmann Having seen too many of these IRL, I’m begging you all to get something with good crash performance. Get something with good side impact ratings if you live somewhere with a driver base less than say, 70% white. Do it for me, splurge a little bit.
Get the side curtain airbags, put up with the extra cost every time you go to autozone (or just like, don’t buy an old shitheap that needs $200 of repairs every month, even my oldies are largely maint-free for me) and thank me when some zoomer faggot T-bones you and you come out the other end none the worse for wear.
