Criteria; used car, 40 mile daily commute, hatchback or SUV, budget ~$25k, prefer hybrid or EV. Thoughts?
Hey all,
Gonna keep this short and sweet and focus on the details:
Basics
- Looking for a crossover/small SUV
- Not interested in new cars, only used
- Must be a crossover/hatchback/SUV
- Must have some basic autonomous features
Here are what I am looking for for a used car, importance rated out of 10:
- Autonomous features
- 9/10. My commute is 20 miles each way, with rush hour traffic. Roughly 90% highway driving. Also looking to do road trips (ik ik, easier said than done with an EV).
- Comma AI support
- 9/10. I really really really want this.
- Comfort
- 7/10. I am 6'3" and my partner is 5'11", we're both slender.
- Reliability
- 8/10. I realize newer cars are more reliable, but EVs have me on the fence. This encompasses warranty support.
- Driving Experience / Handling
- 5/10. I'm a fairly conservative driver. Currently have a '16 Mazda CX-5. I live in the Pacific NW.
- Noise
- 7.5/10. I really like quiet cars, but realize I'll have to make sacrifices.
- Styling
- 9/10. I realize this is fully subjective, but I want something that looks sharp.
- Fuel Economy
- 8/10. I'd love a hybrid or an EV.
- Safety
- 5/10.
Thanks in advance!
