    Hyundai seems to be the top choice right now. They have the best combination of value, features, technology and reliability.

    The Ioniq 5 is, at least where I live in Canada, is on a perpetual waitlist (except for the base 2wd model nobody wants). I’m personally waiting for the Ioniq 7 to replace my rusting Outback.

      What’s the cost and range for all of those options? Do they have self driving?

          Mine does. It drives me to work with no interventions on most days.

          For highway driving I don’t think I can go back to another car with a less capable ADAS package. It’s truly a game changer.

            lol… do your door handles work? trunk seals?

            if you don’t trust them to get simple shit right, how vacuous would trusting their driving tech be?

              Yes, I have actually replaced more door handles per mile on my previous cars.

            Currently, only Mercedes Benz has a self driving system, limited to a top speed of 40mph and a few States that have certified it.

                    well, I hope your misplaced enthusiasm for the tech doesn’t get someone murdered.

                    please, be attentive when you ‘fool self drive’.
