[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t bought a new car since 2016 and had hoped to get through a few more years before going down that road. But life has its own path.

We’re a couple of years from retirement and we keep vehicles until they can no longer keep going. We’re looking for a new car to take us into retirement - we’re big road trip people so the right vehicle is important.

We think a hybrid is the right choice. We don’t see the infrastructure for an EV to work for us - we like to go and aren’t always good planners so having to be able to charge seems like a bad idea for us. But we don’t think in five years we’d be content with a gas powered vehicle for cost and environmental reasons. And we ran numbers and don’t see a plug in hybrid to be worth the cost. Are we missing something?  Is hybrid right for us?  What about plug in hybrid?

Sticker shock is due to not having spent more than $25k on a vehicle before. We figure a small SUVish vehicle is right for us - think RAV4 and Honda CRV. We liked the Mazda CV50 but the 70 felt really big. Would love ideas for least costly hybrids in that size range.

Appreciate advice. And we are in Silver Soring so if you have specific dealers we’d love that as well. We’re looking to buy anytime from tomorrow to Thanksgiving - hoping not to go further out. [/quote]
