Make sure you are really using low ET options, there are some you might not think of as being high ET or some you think aren’t optional (they are if the budget is so low). It’s quite possible to make a car with some non-basic tech without touching quality sliders (5 speed manual is quite obtainable).

I can give you a tip that negative quality is not only encouraged. But also expected…

OK, thanks, I try to conjure something up
Funny thing is I only have 1 negative slider that is -1 for seats
I didn’t use any negative sliders…I just built a very basic model of car.
No power steering, no abs, standard seats and basic radio.
So down, down, down the quality sliders went…
Ligrani Alicante 1.1 TNE
Buy with your Brain - your Heart won’t Complain
Ligrani Alicante Phase-out Sale
Dear customer,
After nearly a decade, it’s time to say arrivederci to our much loved Alicante.
Conceived as an urban commuter, the Alicante has been endowed with elegant coupe-like lines by its Italian creators, though this has been done without sacrificing the practical side of things: The 2+2 seating configuration will allow a young family man to drop off his kids at school, the big hatch grants access to a roomy luggage compartment that can be further expanded by folding down the backrest of the rear bench for the occasional laundromat haul.
The design has evolved considerably over the years, and in accepting our offer, you will get the latest and most advanced variant, the '85 TNE with the completely revamped front fascia first seen on the '84 MY, an all new, fuel injected engine that comes equipped with a 3-way catalytic converter and a splitter/spoiler set optimized for low drag, zero lift aerodynamics resulting in benign and predictable handling characteristics.
The robust 1.1L I4 was designed with economy and longevity in mind. The well-tuned unit delivers 52hp at 5,300rpm and 63ft-lb at 2,500rpm and boasts a smooth torque curve with solid low end responsiveness, gently tapering off towards the 5,900 rpm rev limit. The 3-way cat makes the TNE an environment friendly vehicle and ensures affordable upkeep for years to come.
The 4-speed manual gearbox allows you to always make the best use of the engine’s powerband, the overdrive (available in 3rd and 4th) enables cruising at 80mph with the rev counter showing a modest 3,400rpm and helps with the excellent 42,3mpg(UK) fuel economy. Weighing in at less than 1,750lbs, the Alicante 1.1 TNE will reach 62mph in 15.4s and accelerate on to a 89mph top speed.
The Alicante 1.1 TNE comes equipped with painted wing mirrors, fog lamps, adjustable headrests and 3-point seatbelts for the front passengers as well as an 8-track radio. Phase-out sale price is 6,400,-

i wouldn’t use THAT body if i were you…
huh? Why that?
BTW I just found the cause of my ET problem - I never realized that increasing brake airflow comes at an ET cost - and a massive one at that, maxing it out increases ET by 6.0…
I suppose I should go Japanese this round…
Hello European investor. I see you are interested in purchasing the new Sosumi Tanto for use around your home prefecture. You have chosen wisely. But please, don’t believe me. Observe the car, it will speak for itself.
1985 Sosumi Tanto
Co-developed with Petoskey Motors, the Tanto is proof that a minimalist design does not require you to sacrifice quality. The vehicle boasts light weight, fuel efficiency, and seating for five.
Test drive a Tanto today, and see what happens when the Americans and Japanese work together instead of compete.

because the 3-door Fiesta body has a bugged cargo space, thus skewing various trim results.

@Dorifto_Dorito OTL … now I’m really tempted to rename it to All-Ogre, should look great in Chrome 
Well, I’ll think of another name as soon as I can be bothered to redo the badge…
@JohnWaldock Wasn’t aware of that - is it skewing trim results as in “should have shown by now” or as in “stats can randomly explode all over the place every time someone reviews the car”? Anyway, I already submitted the car, it can’t be helped I guess, but thanks for the info, I’ll avoid it next time.
it’s bugged as in ‘it has more cargo space than a hanger’ bugged
…which would mean that I’m effectively cheating here. Man, my entry really seems to be star-crossed as fuck.
@conan Question is, how to handle this. I could whip up a new body and leave the rest of the design (engine, trim) unchanged to get an identical-ish car, just without a broken body, if permitted (@JohnWaldock: does the bug affect only the 3-door variant or is it the Fiesta in general?)

Cargo space is barely a blip in the buying preference. So it doesn’t matter.

That’s a relief - I’ve spent quite some time fumbling around with the fixtures 
Name’s fixed, too.
The Anikatian Auto Union (AAU) M2083 was a compact car which was manufactured by AAU from 1983 to 1990. The AAU M2083 marked the trend of Anikatian vehicles of the era with the switch towards a front-wheel-drive setup.
Despite this M2083 was intended to retain the success of earlier designs as a basic ‘people’s car’ within the Democratic Socialist Republic of Anikatia (DSRA), providing a vehicle that combined a robust build and ease of maintenance with a modern style.
It was produced in various body style, the most common being the coupe design. Offered only with a 0.8-litre 3 clyinder petrol engine. AAU had hoped that the M2083 would be able to compete for sale in Western car markets, while it was also widely exported the designs spartan design and alleged build quality issues.
Quickly landed it derision by critics, who cast it aside with other disappointing designs from Socialist nations. This negative press left the M2083 and the wider Anikatian Auto Union brand with a poor reputation. Which ultimately led to its decline, and the push for greater differentiation of other Anikatian marques.
