60's is an instant no to sedans (unless both of them are quite fit)

hence why the HRV, CHR etc etc are popular.

If they are ready to embrace EVs, then model Y just for the ease of entry/getting out... RWD is more than enough (the traction control is pretty decent and I assume they will just stay home if snow piles up?)

If they wanna do any other brand EV, I will say we are not quite there yet with the $30K budget...

Or you know... how old/new can you get with a $30K all in budget in the lexus NX/RX hybrid line up?

I assume they will drive the car to the ground with no intention of getting another car for a super long long long long time

I have taken my super basic base base RWD model 3 to snowboarding, it handles snow fine... but ofc I got good tires and I know momentum is key, so I try my best to never let my car stop stop... it will always be at a crawl, no matter how slow... but still moving....

Sorry for the long rant, its my 1st time on RS for 3 days LOL... just felt like typing random shit...

/////////oh fuck i missed 3 pages worth of replies LOL////////////

sure bz4x or solterra will work just fine for your use case, the range sucks, but will easily go to Richmond multiple times... so as long as they charge every night... it will be fine... and just like the Model Y, it is high off the groud making entry/exit lot easier
