Motorbiscuit: Cheapest New Hybrid SUV Has Best Gas Mileage for SUV: 53 MPG!

Here:

I received a notification for this and wondered if it was on either of the cheapest vehicle lists that I shared.

No.

It has a starting price of $26,500 MSRP, so it should be #17 on the longer list, but the Trax should be on both.

It said there weren't any comments, so I created an account, and the comment section disappeared.

I wanted to ask if it met anyone's criteria for an SUV and how it off-roaded, but I was silenced!

Silenced!

Edit!
I was waiting for my brother, so I read this article I found while looking for the previous one: 2023 Toyota Prius vs. 2023 Kia Niro: Redesigned Hybrid Rumble. The Prius has vastly more power and AWD, while having the same fuel economy, while the Niro has 57 horsepower less and is only available with front-wheel drive.

How many Volkswagens had 57 HP or less?!

The Niro has a little over a 5% longer driving range, allegedly.

The PHEV Prius has 44 miles of electric-only range, while the Niro only has 33 miles of electric-only range.

They make a big deal out of the Niro having a maximum cargo capacity of 63.7 cubic feet with folded seats, while the Prius only offers a maximum cargo capacity of only 23.8 cubic feet.

There is no mention of folding seats!

The Prius is cheaper, while the Kia has a better warranty, but my brother-in-law's Kia is much newer than Mom's Toyota, and Mom never needed to spend several thousand dollars in maintenance like my sister recently did.

The brakes still squeak.

Edit!!
Mitsubishi, Jaguar, and Rivian offer similar warranties to Kia and Hyundai.
I will take the Mitsubishi?

Edit!!! "Toyota is legendary for its exceptional reliability." J.D. Power rated the C-HR the most reliable SUV, but The Most Reliable SUV Was Just Killed

Since MotorBiscuit seemingly only pretended to have a comment section: 7 Ways the Can-Am Ryker Is the Best Motorcycle for Beginners I still wish that I knew what happened to my ex. I continue sharing single data points, but death is a big datum.

There is some mention of an International Ride a Female Day.

Can-Ams are girls?

Watch: School Bus Driver Slap Fights Parent, Drives off With Kids on Board The thing is, this was no ordinary bus driver, this was a substitute school bus driver, and having been a substitute and a school bus driver [on top of working at schools and with school-age kids in other settings], I can only imagine how nightmarish being a substitute school bus driver would be.

Have you ever dealt with other peoples' kids?!

What about the parents?!

I really have other things to do, but one thing stood out: "[T]he substitute was unfamiliar with the routes and drop-off points for the children."

What?!

When I was hired in 2002 and put on my first route I was required to write out a route plan with step-by-step instructions, specifically including all of the steps. I never drove anyone else's route unless they had an aide to give me directions, but the mechanics and other staff substituted on my route when I had finals and other commitments I absolutely could not reschedule, but I do remember one thing:
Quote:
6. In intersections that use lighted traffic control signals, a school bus driver shall load or unload passengers no closer than 100 feet of the traffic control signal so the passengers may cross with the traffic control signal, either before or after the school bus proceeds.
7. In intersections without lighted traffic control signals, a school bus driver shall load or unload passengers no closer than 50 feet of the intersection so the passengers may cross at the intersection, either before or after the school bus proceeds.

Ariz. Admin. Code § 13-13-104
https://casetext.com/regulation/ariz...-bus-operation

Always remember: When breaking the law, you must do it in a cool way.

This way was not cool!

Costco will sell you this Bugatti Scooter for less than $1,000 Not only can I afford an EV and a Bugatti, but I can afford a Bugatti EV?!

Only the 2022 model. The 2023 is bigger, has a stronger motor, and larger battery.
