I can see the appeal.

Wagon, manual, AWD, turbo... for merely $21,963 new. Keep in mind that this and the Alltrack are THE LAST manual proper wagons you can buy in the US as both have been killed off for 2020.

$21,963... Such a pitiful amount of money when compared to the average price of a new car in the US. And yet it may as well be $50,000 for me. If feels that far beyond my reach.

I might be doing this “living” thing all wrong.
