It is probably one of the few towns in America that doesn't even have a fueling station.
For the life of me, I have no idea what I want - except another GTI of course, which is not a viable option at this point for size reasons.
And that is a bizarre omission, I thought that was pretty much standard fare now.
Likely, she'll be driving us down in the CX-5, easier for her mother to ingress/egress than my car.
The urge to new car grows stronger, perhaps I don't trust entering year 7 in the XF. Although, it's given me no signs of impending doom... In the realm of reality replacements, looking to go smaller, on my radar:
'20 Jag XE (I've read good reviews of the updates. And, well, Jag)
Volvo S60
Porsche Macan, likely used. Really, the only SUV/CUV whatever that interests me, not even the Jag SUV's pique my interest.
BMW M235/M240
MB C43
Audi A5 Coupe or SportBack.
But, it's so nice not having car payments and minimal property taxes on the 5.5 yo XF.
What's a staid, frugal New England boy to do?

On the USB, I have a USB splitter and a cig lighter adapter. So we make do. Other option is a power pack charger.

I must have 10 of those around between briefcase, home and office (vendors give them out all the time) but never seem to have one when I need it.
Enclave has three ports, 2 of which are charge only in the second row. I wish it had a 110V outlet like our LaCrosse did. That was handy.

Still no plans to replace it, at this point. I drive it maybe once or twice a week at this point.

Elantra should be good to go as usual. No dents or curb rash on the wheels. Interior is perfect except for two 1" light scratches on a door panel from me carrying a metal fixture that slid and hit the panel.

I'm sure when they inspect the car if it's clearly been through hell you'll get charged for something that is a little beyond the specs. OTOH if the car is otherwise perfect and cared for I can see the inspector letting the one thing go.
For example... I'm sure a smokers car that was never cleaned in three years would cost the same to make right than one ding that PDR could fix.

Funny story from years ago. My 2006 Avalon was leased through an outside bank (Hann Financial) and they would inspect and pick up the car the same day. I arranged to have it done at work. I had someone ask if I was having hard times... they thought it was being repossessed. I asked why they would think that and the response was it happened to them.

Like I said a few weeks ago. I'm going to start test driving around Labor Day.
Budget is $400 /month with $1000 DAS (preferably less)
Short list:
Volvo S60 (will have to get a Costco membership, as they offer a huge rebate)
BMW 3/4 (loaners) Not having loyalty hurts on the 4
Infiniti Q50
Fusion Energi Titanium (wife really likes the idea of a plug in, me not so much)
I'm sure there are others, but the only thing for sure is it will not be an SUV!
