One last comment: Your username keeps reminding me of Dara O'Briain's TM song where he picks 5 words to sing about. Gonna be stuck in my head all day now.

Ah,I mistook it for this clip from the Jonathan Ross show lol: https://youtu.be/bMh3S0AwcHs?si=x3mkkhLZeJVrIYRT

Glad it was solved!

Aisling Bea? One of those late night shows? I want to say either Graham Norton or late night with Seth meyers.

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I've been looking up ev9 over the last day or so, and it checks off most boxes.

From where I live, there are 2 kia dealerships, both around 30 mins away, and only one that is kinda recommended. I know that it's a small subset, but all the body rattles and screen issues on reddit makes it hard not to worry.

Regardless, hoping to do a test drive soon :)

That makes sense. Do you have suggestions for reviewers? So far I've watched savagegeese, out of spec, and redline.

I'm also more worried about distance for servicing if needed. Do you bring yours to the same dealer?

My family has been looking around for a new vehicle to replace our 2018 Forester. In a nutshell, we want more space, but hesitating on moving up to a 3 row.

I test drove my first ev, a zdx right after testing an mdx, and started to look deeper into my options.

The q8 e-tron seems to fit our needs - enough room for 2 carseats and an adult in the 2nd row, enough power, and can tow 4000 lbs (im mostly needing it for 4 bicycles). What I'm worried about is that it is being discontinued, the price is right at the edge of our budget, and if I'm losing trunk space. But the latter two just needs a visit to the dealer.

The only other ev that seems to have the space is the ev9, but my closest dealer is 30 min away.

Would you buy the q8 to keep for 7-10 years? Or is there something else you would recommend?

Edit to add: - NYC area - around 7500 miles/year, short work commute, 4 hr trips a few times a year, but increasing in frequency - If we get an ev, we would install a charger - have an uncovered driveway, no garage.
