Car for short commute
Hi !
I’d like some suggestion on which car I should by next.
At the moment, I have a 2015 Corolla LE with 200 000km. I bought it used 8 years ago (I’m the second driver). I had it inspected yesterday at a local garage and everything looks great according to the mecanic (bushing need to be monitored). I love that car. It always brings me from point A to B and hasn’t cost me too much in maintenance/repair so far.
The plan is to possibly give it to my stepson next year when he’ll get is driver license. I’ve spent the weekend looking at what car I should buy and I’m quite lost.
I don’t do a lot of distance. My job is 6km from my house, so 12km a day and a few errands. So I maybe 500-700km a month, max. I want something reliable that will last me a long time and that won’t cost me a fortune to maintain. I’d like to stay under 35K CAD. The goal is to buy the car and use it until it dies. I’m not a car person, so the drive doesn’t have to be exciting. I have an electric plug at home because my husband has an electric car.
From what I read, an EV could be a good option for me, but… which one? Do you guys have any recommandation for someone in my situation?
Thank you
