What features did you need that couldn't be offered in a sedan or small hatchback?
I wanted a car that was relatively quiet and a plug in hybrid. Not a big list of demands by far.
But so many of the PHEVs are SUVs nowadays.
Why do you want a plug in hybrid? Haven’t they been shown to be useless for the climate?!
Because the vast majority of my traveling can be done using electricity and not gasoline.
It is way cheaper to charge it and I frankly like to drive it more, when it is using electricity. Sometimes I do longer trips and need to use gasoline and I do not have the option of charging it at home.
Youre ignorant beyond belief, and you definitely shouldnt be behind the wheel of an SUV, fuck
How so?
Any who lives in snowy conditions could want the additional ground clearance or weight for traction.
Ground clearance, all wheel drive, and winter tires are all available on more reasonably sized vehicles.
Unnecessary; roads get salted or cleared by public organisations.
Never lived in northern new england i take it? Maybe in your neck of the woods they get plowed early and often. In some parts of the country you won't get to work until noon if you wait for the plows.
Then fix the incompetent government, it's cheaper than everyone buying tanks.
So then the issue is the lack of plowing. How does a big car solve that? Is there no work from home option?
Do company employers not try to take the weather into account? Are there no work from home options?
