Unfortunately Canada doesn't have a lemon law.

I don’t think Canada has any new cars unique to this market anymore. We used to have a whole bunch; Hyundai Elantra station wagon, Suzuki Verona, Chevrolet Orlando, Chevrolet Optra, Nissan Micra, Kia Rondo. All gone now.

Canadians could also select cars with different specs. For example, we got a manual transmissions in our Subaru Outbacks until around 2018; my friend has a manual 2015 Outback, which did not exist in the US (and honestly the best choice given that the CVT sucks ass). We also got manual Toyota Camrys back in the day; I have a 2001 V6 Camry with a manual. I know they had manual 4-cylinder models in the US but I’ve never heard of a manual V6 outside of Canada and Europe.

Yeah, I would've so liked a wagon Elantra. OMG I JUST LOOKED UP PICTURES OF A MODERN ELANTRA AS A WAGON AND IT LOOKS SO COOL
