I asked nan commentariat of Jalopnik complete nan play which azygous car they would prime to service each of their driving needs if they had to downsize their location car shed into a azygous vehicle. Unsurprisingly, very fewer of you picked a three-row SUV, which seems to beryllium nan mean reply chosen by normies each day. With declining economical forecasts and millions surviving over-leveraged lives, possibly this is simply a clip to bespeak connected minimalism and get free of a fewer vehicles to find nan 1 that really fits your lifestyle. Or possibly not. 

Only 1 Jalopnik scholar had nan correct reply to my mobility posed connected Saturday. Commenter Paul M said simply RAV-4 Hybrid, and that has to beryllium it. There's thing other connected nan marketplace coming that could do 99% of nan activity that 99% of nan organization needs it to. Fortunately (unfortunately?) we person differing tastes and not each of america want to thrust a lifted Prius successful greyscale for nan remainder of our lives. Just because this is nan correct reply doesn't mean it's nan champion answer. 

The immense mostly of nan comments boiled down into 1 of 5 categories, Porsches, wagons, EVs, basking hatches, and trucks. Some of these picks tin beryllium successful aggregate categories, but beautiful overmuch each of you picked thing that fits this group. It's astonishing aft each these years really reliable, and possibly predictable, nan Jalopnik readership tin still be. Check retired what nan answers look for illustration below. So, without further ado, these are my favourite answers submitted by our readers this weekend:

My Boxster S. Costco runs? Twice nan trunks = doubly nan worldly (kinda), positive nan rear 1 keeps rotisserie chickens warm. Road trip? Nah, I'll fly. Only 2 seats?

I daily drove a Porsche Boxster for a fewer years and you're right, it's an incredibly useful small car if you don't request to haul a bunch of people.

There's a logic Porsche sells truthful galore of these things. They're really competent crossovers that grip amended than they person a correct to.

Any car pinch 2 rear model wipers sounds for illustration a victor to me. Nice pick! 

Toyota Crown Signia – a full-size hybrid wagon (somehow called SUV for trading purposes) pinch stellar Toyota reliability and 40mpg. The cargo area is hude and wholly level 6ft+ successful magnitude – fantabulous for hauling worldly and camping. It is somewhat pricey but is fundamentally a Lexus pinch Toyota badge. Handles amended than RX/NX owed to little height.

Suggested by: MGB302V8

This is simply a awesome answer. I've concisely driven 1 of these, and it was a beautiful bully experience. It's awfully large, if you tin woody pinch that, but does beautiful overmuch everything good enough. 

I'm going to cheat a small and return economical retired of nan mix. If money weren't an issue, it would beryllium an Audi RS6 Avant Performance. Station wagon truthful it tin haul and large powerfulness truthful it tin haul ass.

Suggested by: Jeff Meyer

MB AMG E-class Wagon. Fast. Fun. Practical. Not an SUV.

Suggested by: Scoobie2

Upcoming i3 Touring

Sleek Neue Klasse design, electric, wagon. You're going to spell far, kid. 

For a combo of speed, comfort, and utility, I deliberation I would take nan Lucid Gravity. Not excessively galore vehicles are faster, and its large capable to grip 5 group and luggage.

Suggested by: Gabriel S

When Andy reviewed nan Gravity past year he wrote "No matter what I asked it to do, nan Gravity answered nan telephone and past some. There are very fewer tasks that nan Gravity cannot handle." So, uh, yeah, I think this is simply a bully pick. 

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4S- looks gorgeous, awesome driving dynamics, EV capacity (4S is plentifulness quick) erstwhile you request it without sacrificing ratio erstwhile you don't, holds group and gear.

Incredibly versatile. Car calms correct down successful normal mode and is truthful comfortable to drive. Best conveyance I person ever owned.

Suggested by: Shawn Ranieri

I'd beryllium difficult pressed to prime nan I5N over a Taycan, but it's nan hottest point Hyundai has ever put out, and earnestly fits nan measure for astatine slightest 90% of what I want a car to do. This is simply a beautiful awesome prime arsenic well. You've chosen wisely.

GTI. Fun to drive, decent state mileage, carries 4 adults aliases a astonishing magnitude of worldly if you driblet nan backmost seat.

Though if I had Elon Musk level money I would see an Audi RS6 avant...

Suggested by: Nobody

You don't request to beryllium a trillionaire to bargain an RS6 Avant, but it surely doesn't hurt. That said, I'm not judge I'd beryllium missing overmuch successful nan GTI to warrant nan upmarket move anyway. It's a spot bigger and has much power, but nan GTI is simply a awesome all-rounder and nan substance costs of filling nan large Audi wagon would person maine successful tears these days. 

I person a GRC, I'm hoping this will do everything I need. Home Depot is having a waste connected mulch and ungraded and I was capable to fresh 20 bags easy.

Mpg isn't great, but I don't thrust successful eco and person a small spot of a dense foot.

 Suggested by: Minivanman

When it comes to basking hatches today, Toyota really has nan number 1 prime connected nan market. There's thing rather for illustration nan GR Corolla correct now. Though, yeah, nan substance system isn't awesome considering it's a one-liter three-cylinder engine. It's a beautiful dang awesome small point to thrust around, though. When I reviewed 1 connected way a while back I called it a "manic small explosive of a car" that was "playful and willing, zingy and fierce whenever you get down to business." It's a car that gets down to business, that's for sure.

I person a location successful nan burbs, truthful one request a truck. Ridgeline is nan conveyance that fits successful nan car shed and hauls nan astir while doing it. Very comfy and very easy to unrecorded with. Bonus AWD for nan icy snowy roads we get.

Suggested by: Longboat

Ridgeline is simply a earnestly competent pickup, and solves astir of nan problems that motortruck buyers request it to. Not a bad pick. 

Easy prime for me, if a caller car, hybrid Maverick. I for illustration nan looks, and haul worldly that's not excessively ample from clip to time, usually conscionable devices and mini supplies for handyman aliases spot guidance projects, truthful nan furniture size is good. If I request to return much than 2 group location while hauling things it is applicable compared to my 74 El Camino which has bucket seats. My woman has a hybrid Lincoln MKZ truthful I'm acquainted pinch nan drivetrain, and cognize it would get overmuch amended mileage than either nan El Camino aliases nan 2011 Chrysler 300C I regular drive, moreover pinch my lead foot. If immoderate car, either a 71 Olds 442 Vista Cruiser custom, aliases a 66 Pontiac 2+2 which has a trunk astir arsenic ample arsenic nan Maverick's bed.

Suggested by: Dan60 

The Hybrid Mav is an moreover amended prime than nan Ridgeline. It's smaller and much economical truthful it doesn't wounded nan wallet arsenic much, and drives much for illustration a car. I genuinely deliberation nan world would beryllium a amended spot if each motortruck driver was alternatively a Maverick driver. 

Rivian R1T.

For really often I really request to tow (once aliases doubly a year, locally) and really often I do inter-state roadtrips (<1 a year) I don't person immoderate scope anxiety... Especially pinch a generator successful nan furniture for camping and off-roading trips!xtagstartz/blockquote>
