help me pick put my next ride. [View all]

so, i’m dumping my ford transit connect, which i absolutely despise. i bought it from carmax, and it didnt have the tech i wanted. but i’ve found many reasons to hate it, including the small fortune it just cost to replace the battery. it’s halfway under the dash, and required quite a bit of disassembly to get to.

but other than that, it’s what i need. small landlord, urban farmer, need to cart fairly large stuff around. dont have passengers often, but appreciate being able to cart a few ppl, esp as the election is upon us. i dont drive that much and dont believe in new cars.

looking on carvana today. they dont have a category for crossovers. but looking at a nissan kicks, maybe a jeep. had an 86 grand cherokee, and adored it. renegade looks cute.
or i cd just go w a subie outback. but taller wd b better.
saw a mitsubishi i liked too. dont remember the name.
no place to plug an electric anything.
no korean cars. hopefully this is my last car, and i am told that the parts r expensive and slow to ship.

thoughts? need to do this soon, as i let the city sticker expire on the ford, so i’m hiding it off street.
