      In the category of “quirky and iconic but affordable sports car just a few years old at the time of the plot” there’s probably only one obvious choice for 1995: Mazda MX-5

      Based on the stainless steel body requirements, I know the answer and I don’t like it.

          Yeah, remember Doc Brown’s reason for choosing the DeLorean was because, “If you’re gonna travel through time, you ought to do it in style”.

          Cybertruck is not style unless you are a brain-rotted seven-year-old.

          Maybe a Rivian? You’d have to come up with a different issue other than the car not starting, like the difficulty of charging it or something.

        I think about joke in the movie would be its supposed to be a cyberpunk, but the vehicle falls apart during a test run, so they use a Ford focus instead.
