This where Lane Departure Starts

6. CarTender Inc. September 2017
The first thing we see is that the Honda Civic and Ford Focus hatchbacks are the cheapest options,
but the most surprising point is that the 2018 version of the Mazda 3 Sport is less than the 2017.
Why? Lane Departure was only offered on the top GT version of the 2017, but was made available
on the mid-level GS version of the 2018.
