wmw999 2,117 #5 March 10, 2022 Kia Niro; it fits the kind of driving I generally do with my car, and there was one to be had without too much of a premium over list. And it's a pretty blue green color Wendy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like the Rav4 PHEV; it's getting rave reviews, has a 40 mile range on EV-only and can carry a lot more than the Prius. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,117 #7 March 10, 2022 I wanted to look at it, but they're hard to come by around here, and I wasn't willing to buy one without driving it. And, frankly, after doing without a car for the last 5 months, I just wanted one. What can I say... And I enjoyed driving the Kia, it just felt right. If a little gutless.
