Economy compact car, TL8
This is, arguably, about the minimum for a civilian car at TL8 (at least for what a desperate person will buy). It is uncomfortable, has poor performance and is not very survivable in a wreck (although for legal reasons crashwebs are included, though in some jurisdictions even they will be left out).
However, it is very cheap, and perhaps it is best to look at it as a disposable car (anyone familiar with the City Hunter anime series should be able to picture this car, painted red).
