of the more affordable PHEVs we could find. We test drove the full EV version which was really fun (as most EVs are). It's my wife's primary vehicle. Now we just need to figure out moving closer to where she works so she can go full EV to and from.

It's what happens when you want to sell a hatchback but don't want to sell a hatchback. - spamlet Oct 11, 07:34 1
- Yeah, the Hyundai one is nicer looking but they don't sell the PHEV in the midwest. -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 07:37
Yeah, this style of vehicle is odd to me as well. It's not an SUV, it's not a car, it's kind of in between. I do hope you love it and have no issues. - Krusty Oct 11, 07:32 13
- I believe they call them CUVs... -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 11, 07:33 12
  - ish. The Bolt we're trying to buy is an "EUV", which means just a little more leg room and storage -- (edited) - Reagen Oct 11, 07:42 2

  - What's the C? Car Utility Vehicle? IMO, this one is too high up to be in the station wagon class but what do I know. - Krusty Oct 11, 07:37 6
    - Crossover -- nm - ty97 Oct 11, 07:39 3

        Looks like crossover and compact are used. -- nm - Krusty Oct 11, 07:50
    - Compact I think -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 07:38 1
      - Makes sense -- nm - Krusty Oct 11, 07:38
  - I mean I basically have one of those, a Crossover (suby Crosstrek). - tRuMaN Oct 11, 07:36 1
    - I definitely looked at the Subaru also. It really was a choice between the Kia, Subaru, Toyota RAV4 Prime and the Ford Escape - oblique Oct 11, 07:39
