I had a 4 cylinder 1996 Mazda Pricidia (MX-3). Front wheel drive. I guarantee you, I absolutely took that thing places a Cybercuck wouldn’t be able to. Like up and down a 90km logging road, accessed from a country road another 45km from the nearest anything, to camp on the shore of a lake in the Kootenay’s. I pulled the back seats and got a pal to make a wood bed in the back with storage areas and if you pushed the front seats full forward could fit a double inflatable…
When a mid 90s economy sport car can out truck your truck…idfk…
Hell, I had a Familia (323) that could get pretty far out there. The boys and i would take it out on a 20 mile trail to fish and camp all weekend by a secluded lake. The local ranger (I don’t know what the local terminology was for his job) gave us his number in case we ever got stuck, though we never needed it. Only once did he stop us to warn us of pretty severe washout after heavy rain. We heeded his advice and went elsewhere that weekend.
My first car was a Toyota Tercel SR5 wagon. Had a 4cyl and a 5 speed. 4WD.
I took that damn thing places where a Jeep or Bronco II struggled. Still my favorite car of all time.
And I’ll never forgive Breaking Bad for making them financially inaccessible to broke mfers like me.

Those things are awesome, but I think they were already pretty unavailable even before Breaking Bad.
Yes but what was available was cheap. Now they sell for corvette prices.
