Great family car, could serve as a van, went rapidly. I prefered it to the latest SUVs in terms of practicality but doesnt have the image....

You are right the van doesn't have the image of a nice SUV. I am guessing that our new van is the last one we will buy and that we will buy a nice SUV in the future. Although maybe I should get a monster truck, as that is what my son wants. He wants A big Ford Pickup or or a Ferrari- sort of a weird mix, but he is 9. Obviously at some point EVs will come into the mix here too, so will be interesting to see how that plays out. But for now, we are set for a bit. No more buying new vehicles. |
The teslamodel x is probably the best ev minivan out there at present.
