The good car
A few years ago, I bought a used 2017 BMW 328d. It's a mild-hybrid diesel, and it is an awesome car-- fast, handles well, quiet, and on a long trip yesterday it got over 51 mpg, which is pretty incredible. I had been thinking of getting an electric car or a straight-up hybrid, but this seems to check all the boxes. It has a unique set of virtues. It would seem to be very attractive to people like me who want performance and great mileage but have trouble imagining an electric vehicle because of range problems on long trips (that is, running out of juice). It has proven to be the perfect answer!
Which means, of course, that they don't make it any more. Sigh.

Your next car should be a Hyundai Tucson plug in hybrid. We just got one and it's great! Electric range is around 35 miles (my commute exactly) and then the gas milage is high due to hybrid tech. And it's peppy! Ours was working great for the first week, but then my husband hit a deer-- he's ok; not so much the deer :( I'll let you know how the second week goes once it's out of the shop.
