Sarcastic remark goes here
Ya know, the little one might have a smoother ride if you get rid of those low-pro tires and replace them with steel belted radials.
Or does she prefer the sporty handling?

Congrats.
Liars figure and figures dont lie.
I had a nissan armada and traded it in for a 2016 VW passat 1.8 turbo and aint looked back since.
saving money on gas feels great. and having a new car feels even better.
Good choice and good luck to the your new ride.
an armanda those things are horrible on gas
What annoys me is people with plug-in electric or hybrid cars have this odd sense of entitlement. They think nothing of plugging their car in wherever they are without asking first. Saw a guy (money not a problem...he's a high-priced attorney) plug his car in at a church, ffs. Like it's the church's job to pay for his fuel.
i agree with everything that you said!!! i would goto one step further and say it's stealing. it's one thing to ask but just to go ahead and do it with out asking is just not right. i know on mine i can do a rapid charge on the battery charging it aggressively in sport mode and i can have a full charge in 3 hours. i can even tell the car to charge the battery and to hold that charge so i have a full battery for when i leave!! we have charging stations all over the place out here some are free and some you pay for but to use a private parties power without asking is just wrong

wait what the most eco friendly people i know prefer to ride there bikes or carpool in there prius
so does that thing have different driving profiles. for things like rapid battery charging and telling the car to hold that charge so you have a full battery for when you leave
. i know on mine under the IDRIVE settings i can put the car into hold state of charge. i talked with someone this morning that said between the battery usage and fuel usage they were getting around 147 MPG'S

they started playing around with the ideas for electric cars back in the 1800's but they failed
yup people run out and buy big SUV'S when fuel prices are cheap then the cry when fuel goes up
. i gotta love the ones that run out and buy the land rovers they cry about how bad maintance is on them
. i know since the bmw over flooded the market out here with the I8'S they can't move em and there giving em away!! i got mine way under 100k after a trade and dealer discount for paying cash

Not really. Plenty patents bought up in the early automotive days to prevent things from being developed.
yup people run out and buy big SUV'S when fuel prices are cheap then the cry when fuel goes up. i could never comprehend going into debt to save fuel though
yep, something I would never do on fuel cost alone. For me, it was a combination of things. Age of other vehicle, money needed to make it safe for a potential teenage driver (due to the abuse I sent my truck through), fuel cost, safety around town, and a few other things. zero percent financing tipped the scales though
