All cars should be lower than sticker used IMO.

Also, test drove a Bolt EUV on Saturday. It was a used 2022 w/o Super Cruise. It kind of smelled like cigarettes.

Finally got all the W2s added to Turbo Tax. Looks like we can snag the full $7,500 EV credit if we bought in Q1. Might trade in the Outback for a fully loaded Bolt EUV if I can lock in a solid trade in ($27k+ ideally) and Q1 delivery.

$38,600 - $7500 - $27,000 = $4,100

It's dorky as hell, but it's a damn good appliance. Payback would be <2 years for how much I'm driving for work. We take RDX together everywhere anyways. It used to be the Outback back when the woman had an old Focus, but now the RDX has replaced it. No need to drive something as big as the outback for a daily.

I'd be into the Bolt EUV as a companion to the BRZ honestly. I don't really daily drive my personal car at all, no commute and rentals when traveling, but it sounds like a no brainer in your case for a new car with only $4100 or so outlayed.

How did it drive, cigarette smell aside?

Surprisingly good? It’s not very powerful. But the throttle response is instant. So compared to the outback, it feels as quick when trying to jump into a spot in traffic. Just stab the throttle and go. Outback has to rev up with the cvt, then go. It’s faster once you get into the right rev range, but there’s just such a big lag in getting there. It very much feels like when you select the tiny wheels and shitty tires on Mario Kart. Better tires would help it a lot.

I drive 66 miles round trip every day. 90%+ of the trip is super cruise enabled. I’ll save $2,000+/yr in gas and maintenance easily. Any road trip we take the RDX, so it’s just for me to commute in.

It gets colder in Ohio than Tennessee for sure, but my garage stays pretty warm. You can pre-condition the car when it's plugged in too I think, so I can get it piping hot before I leave for work. No charging at work currently, but I should be fine on a full battery, even in winter storm weather.

This is a solid 2 car solution, or perhaps 3 car solution imo. Hybrid/ev and a fun weekend toy. Also does the outback feels a little bulgy for a daily? I drive my family's crosstek every now and then and it does an excellent job in the city.

Outback is pretty good. It's a great size in terms of utility. Huge back seat and cargo space. AWD system is great. Suspension tuning is really good for what it is: a big comfy rally wagon.

The downsides: gas mileage sucks, the CVT is not great, and the infotainment continues to be a mess. An EV makes a ton of sense for my use case (66+ miles a day commute). I hate the EV credit laws, but I'm also , so I feel obligated to take advantage.

Bolt EUV, RDX, and BRZ is a pretty well rounded garage. I would prefer a Ford Lightning over a Bolt EUV, but not at 2.5x the cost. A truck bed would be really handy to have around.
