If you can charge at home and only use the car to commute, BEV makes a shit of sense IF, and big IF, you can find one that doesn't insist on driving itself and automating everything and has actual buttons rather than all screen interface.

Alfisti wroteI looked at and considered the S way back in 2012. It was too expensive and over-the-road charging was a wet dream back then and would have been too hard to live with for my 170-mile daily round trip commute to my office. The economics never worked out back 14 years ago.If you can charge at home and only use the car to commute, BEV makes a shit of sense IF, and big IF, you can find one that doesn't insist on driving itself and automating everything and has actual buttons rather than all screen interface.
I liked it because it was an American car and for an EV it actually had a reasonable front-end design (a grille - crazy!) and the body shape was attractive. Real MB switchgear and a gauge screen behind the steering wheel too. The big-ass center stack screen that constantly displayed a huge map never made any sense to me.
Good on
zener for picking one up.
I work at tire shop doing alignments so I drive lot of different cars daily. I have not own other than BMW's until now. S has been the only different brand that suits in to my liking. Little bit lowering and wheels facelift S looks very good to my eyes and big screen is not bad to use at all and 75d has plenty of power for daily use. And this era of S let's you drive and the autosteer works pretty good if you don't wanna drive yourself.
I5 would be another choice but they are too expensive as they are so new.
F10 is gonna stay as we need two car's for daily use. Maybe it will be G31 or G60 to replace it in somewhere in the future...

Installed H&R springs yesterday and did alignment of course. Now I would like it to have adjustable upper control arms for the front. Original adjust does not do much. Hopefully my 15mm spacers arrive soon for the front.
Donatello. wroteThe answer for inclement weather is always, Subaru (2000-2015). Easy answerLooking to replace my Mazda6 that is only used for bad weather and such (I'm in PA) with something fun. Considering a Focus ST or AWD TBSS as of now, but looking for other suggestions. The 6 sees under 1k miles per year as I work from home so not going to spend a fortune. Also thought about a WRX or STi, but not really wanting to spend $20k ish.
Also, don't want anything tiny as I want to be able to load wheels & tires, etc when needed. So, sadly, things like the Fiesta ST are out.
Don't want anything with high miles or unreliable. AWD preferred, but FWD is ok. No RWD.
I have a 30th AE Miata and Hellcat for fun. Although, the Hellcat is for sale as I drive the Miata a lot more so I'll be replacing that with something else fast, fun & RWD at some point.
