It is not exactly a sedan by definition, it sits only 4. May I suggest you to give a test drive to a Chevy Volt ?
I'm a former Volt owner, I drove that incredible car for 2.5 years and the only way to understand how different it is, you have to drive one yourself.
Instant torque responsiveness, road handling & braking, absence a NVH (Noise, vibration, and harshness) when you're stalled in traffic = quietness, very good traction control in the snow, low center of gravity, operating cost for me was a $1 hydro-electricity / day (YMMV). I averaged a lifetime 0.8 L/100 km because 88% were e-km, the balance on gas were for long drive week-end. I now switched to full EV with the DCFC option (DC Fast Charger) as much I delighted the e-drive behind the wheel of the Volt...
Ok, you wrote $33K all in. If you took out the 15% HST, it is +/- $28.7K before taxes. Within this price range, a lightly used, devaluated Volt is a good option imho.
If I do a quick check at my preferred Chevrolet dealer (they sold one Volt to a guy in BC, he flew in and drove across the country back to home), their online inventory shows 24 used Volt below $28K (28 under $30K). They are very good at it.
Think about it !
Edit: For the peace of minds, the Voltec system has a 8 years / 160,000 km coverage warranty. See under Volt/hybrid tab
