ERbb braintrust:
I sold my 01 Tacoma roughly 2 years ago and bought a used 2015 Vw Golf Sportwagen Diesel with 20k on it. It's been phenomenal, but now it has 103k on it and I'm looking to pass it on before issues start to arise. German cars are typically a bit $$ to maintain after warranties expire.
I need great gas mileage, including freeway miles. the VW was averaging 40mpg, but has dropped to 37ish.I'd like to exceed 40 on average/freeway if possible.
I want something that a 6'2" -6'10" will fit in without coming through the front seats (truck bed, folding rear seats, etc). I'd prefer not to be forced to use racks every time I want to surf.
Something that fits 4 comfortably.
Something affordable. Don't bother with anything that retails at 30k+.
Be somewhat compact. I live in SF and larger vehicles are a pain to park
No Plug ins (I park on the street)
Frontrunners are a used Prius V (holy sh!t. These are selling like used Tacomas! Even nearly 10 year old cars around 100k+ miles are in double digits)
The newest Rav4 Hybrid (I need to do more research on interior size. I'm not a fan of the crazy Jetson's hybrid whine these are exhibiting, but I could get past it).
Sidenote: Any german auto fans want to buy a well maintained Diesel wagon. Still has some dieselgate warranty left on it
