Oh yeah it's October now. No more $7500 federal tax rebate. Can't forget about that.
I was shopping for a car recently and really had my eye on the Ioniq 9 but my wife wasn't into the styling. We ended up leasing a top-of-the-line Santa Fe Hybrid tho, and I must say I'm really impressed with it. I'm getting better mileage in the city on this SUV than I get in my 12 year old sedan on the highway. It's nuts.
My car hasn't moved since we signed the lease. I don't even want to drive it anymore. Everything about the truck is infinitely better, but especially the safety features and parking cameras. Of which my 12 year old base model sedan has pretty much nothing.
I might have to lease another car just so we don't break the bank on miles with this one. We love it too much. Mileage anxiety is literally the only reason to drive the old car. That and keeping it from rotting in the driveway.
As someone who doesn’t want a crossover/SUV or a tablet on my dash my options are extremely limited.
Yeah there's a slimming number of sedans and even fewer wagons. And large screens are part and parcel. A lot of it comes down to the requirements for backup cameras (and the trend of more cameras for parking, blind spot awareness/visibility, collision avoidance, etc being tied into that). And a nice crisp infotainment system looks impressive, especially when you're coming from an older car.
I wouldn't mind a hatchback wagon. But most of them are jacked up now and marketed as crossovers. I don't want my second car to be giant. We only need one car to haul the family and all our stuff. Our "second" car should be suitable for 1-2 passengers regularly (occasionally the whole family) with one of them likely being a kid.
Hybrids should get better range than gas cars, especially versus old gas cars. Unless they fitted it with a tiny fuel tank.
I'm comparing a Hybrid SUV to a gas/pzev sedan from 12 years ago.
The hybrid wins on all accounts, despite being a much larger vehicle. It's honestly quite impressive.
Driving habits matter a lot tho. I get way better mileage in the SUV than my wife does. I only get marginally better mileage than her in the sedan. She got a lead foot.
