[quote=Anonymous] Please tell me I will get over it and used to it!

I've driven 'sport wagons' (aka Jeep Patriot and Chevy HHR) for over a decade. I'm used to those little cars with lots of visibility! I need a newer car with better mileage for my long commute, and after realizing that electric-only is not practical for me at this time, I started looking at plug in hybrids.

I came to the idea that the Chevy Volt is a contender, since they are available in my price range of 20k, and I have liked all my Chevys (a cavalier, an Astrovan, the hhr) over my lifetime. I went to test drive it and was suprised that I didn't immediately like it! It is nicely sized and has a large cargo area (it's actually a hatchback that looks like a sedan) but I'm not used to not having a big window in the back. It also didn't help that I thought the seat was low, as I am short, and the salesman didn't adjust it up until after I mentioned it after the drive.

After I left without buying it (and driving a prius, didn't like, and looking at a ford cmax) I was driving home and thinking, maybe it felt so weird because of what i am used to? Would I get used to it? If you've driven both wagons and sedans, what is your experience?

I want to like and buy this car because it would save me about 2/3's of my gas consumption!
