Fun fact, the I20N cost the same amount as our XR6T did back in 2013.
Old man isn't keen on it - less power and torque than his WZ Fiesta ST with mountune package.

I suggested Kia Stinger 330S but no manual option so that's off the list - doesn't want auto car.

No more Fiesta ST and Focus ST so they're both off the list

I suspect the Civic Type R is going to be a huge increase over the outgoing model as well, given used examples are now going for $80K

He does about 35,000-40,000km/year.

I suspect he might hold off and keep the WZ ST for another year or so given what the market looks like and unless it's some soccer mum SUV or a diesel ute there's basically no other choices sub $60K for something thats manual.
