Does that hatchback design of the i4 or 440GC like WDC has help with the luggage issue?

Surprisingly, I think the Jetta has more room than the BMW (partly because the spare lives under the floor). I’ve thought about using that as a trip car; it’s not impossible. And maybe I could get a roof box for it.
The EV6 prices out nearly the same as the Mustang and its range is a whole lot worse. |

Guessing Taycans are just too expensive for what you get?

Once you jam an aftermarket spare in the GC, there's very little cargo room left and it would need to be soft duffel-type bags...Definitely a plus for the Audis...

Taycans yes are expensive and pretty small inside (except for the wagon, which is even more expensive).

Looks like the EPA-estimated range for the Mach E is 247 miles for the Premium RWD model with the standard battery, and 310 miles with the Extended-range battery. For the EV6, it's 232 miles for the Standard Range RWD model and 310 miles for the long-range RWD model. That does not seem to be "a whole lot worse." |

How about the new i5 if you can wait a few months. Not cheap, for sure but it seems nice and roomy and the looks are not terribly objectionable.

What about the electric Macan? That's coming up quickly, no? Probably not much more room than my GC, though... It all makes the A4 wagon seem like the strongest option. How hard would it be to lower it? Then there's the upcoming 5 sedan. That is bound to be pretty nice and far roomier/comfortable than any 3 series platform vehicle. They may keep the PHEV as well... |
