You are up for surprised when you will know blindspot of low level sedan
Yeah cars are bullshit. Yeah these vehicles are monstrosities that guzzle gas.
But, sedans are too low to the ground. As a tall person, I need something SUV-sized (regular SUV like a buick envoy) just to get out of. The whole world is designed around someone who is ~5'7". I am 6'3". Getting in and out of vehicles, off of low rise furniture, and reaching down to get stuff off if grocery store shelves is a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS!!!
I need a taller vehicle just to get out of. I basically have to crawl just to get in and out of an uber sedan.
*Edit: I wish there was viable mass transit here. I'd rather have convenient metro rail. Absent that, I want an electric SUV
Find you a nice 2000 s-10 xtreme
Hatchbacks are what you seek. Or alternatively, a bicycle.
Or alternatively, a bicycle
Got hit by a car and died on one of those 2 years ago. The infrastructure in the US isn't set up for bikes.
