I knew I wanted something for her that was cheap to maintain, had a reliable automatic transmission, came with cruise control, AC. Having enough electric charge to last a 5-15 minute in silence in a traffic jam. It is harder to pick up signs of it loosing charge as we won’t hear an engine trying to turn over in a regular car.
