It is time (probably past time) to replace the 1996 Ford Ranger I bought new. I am pretty sure I want a 2018 Niro.
My major question is whether a hybrid or plug-in hybrid is a wise choice if it will only be running it during summers. I took early retirement and we spend five months away from rainy Vancouver weather each year. Of course, that was never a problem for the old Ranger.
I suppose I could get someone to periodically come to plug in the PHEV version, or drive around a standardtype, during our time away. Still, it seems silly to buy something that need will need 'babysitting'.
Given that I plan to only drive the vehicle 7 months a year, what are your opinions on my ownership of a Niro? In your opinion, would I be better served with a new, decked-out ICE Soul instead?
