[META] This community closes down with lemm.ee instance (lemm.ee)

There has been not much traction in this community in the past 2 years since I've started it. Honestly, I didn't do much to improve that, probably I just don't have much drive to build up a community.

So this is it - with lemm.ee instance shutting down, this community shuts down too.

There is another similar community [email protected], but it's even less active and I'm not sure if the mod is still on Lemmy - they haven't posted anything for 2 years.

So feel free to post there or start a new one.

I've never owned a car before in my life. I might need to one soon. Budget is $40k. Here are the things I'm considering:

  • I want to go all-electric
  • Not Tesla because fuck Elon.
  • Requires as little maintenance as possible.
  • Has the lowest environmental impact (both in terms of construction of the vehicle and in terms of energy use) as possible

What was your first car? (lemm.ee)

What it was and what did you like/hate the most about it?

It's slightly offtopic, but firsthand experience may help first time car buyers to choose.

Hi, I'm a new grad and looking for my first car. I am fine with certified pre owned cars. I prefer smaller cars and want good city mpg as I will be driving it in rush hour often. Not an ev or plug in hybrid as I will be living in an apartment. I would prefer a car with more tech (driving features like lane assist, park assist, etc.). I don't care about the media system.

Some cars I am considering right now are the Toyota Corolla and Prius hybrid models. I am also considering a Kia Niro, but heard that insurance doesn't cover some years of Kia and Hyundai cars because of a manufacturing security issue?

Hi everyone,

I've created this community as a replacement for r/whatcarshouldibuy that I was subscribed to on Reddit. I used it a lot and I valued content and advice there a lot. It definitely influenced my recent car purchases and I'd like to have similar community here in Lemmy.

Please be polite and follow Lemm.ee instance rules.
