I tried the new electric model for size. Would the battery-powered version of my beloved city car turn my head or leave me unimpressed?
For the better part of the year, I spent my time browsing Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and various used-car websites, hunting for a cheap, cute, compact vehicle to drive around New York City. Now, do I need a car? No. But when I briefly had access to a car last year, it opened up more leisure opportunities. Getting to our favorite dog-friendly beach was just a 30-minute drive instead of an hour-and-a-half subway ride with three transfers.
It's also super quiet. I'm sure that's a point of contention—the rumblings of an internal combustion engine can be music to the ears—but I prefer the serenity of electric. You can switch between three range modes: Normal, Range, and Sherpa. The latter limits the speed and cuts off the air conditioning to conserve energy, but I mostly drove in Range mode.
