After your trip info...if me, I'd get the Accord Hybrid
Was going to get a Honda Accord Hybrid, but am now noodling my next vehicle to replace the 2000 Honda Odyssey (bought used) and it will be another Odyssey. Mini Vans suit me best these days. Never thought I'd ever say that. A sedan doesn't have enough seats for the folks in my crowd and many of them can't get up and into the Sub.
Am going to rebuild the K3500, 7.4L Suburban in phases. 5.38 diff's and a 0.7 GearVendor's to turn the 4L80E into an 8 speed with double OD....then the engine and a 1K-HP rated 4L80E with a 3-year warranty. No hurry on that
A guy in town has one of the below. Interesting and will investigate some more
Canadian Electric Vehicles
Canadian Electric's Mighty E
EV's are too expensive for what I want/need and over kill for now.
For in town am looking at this
For my use, several deducts...don't need the bed dump feature, but soooo interesting, and will ask if they have AC (boy am I getting old)
A 3 meter turning "CIRCLE" !!!
The 25MPH max speed will keep me out of trouble. The guy in town has meaty tires, that makes his look like a hot rod
This would become a project to keep me busy. Maybe solar panels
