So many people spend so much time complaining about how modern cars look. “Everything is so boring now,” they say, along with “.” We’ve all heard people moaning about how “you can’t tell cars apart any more without looking at the badge.” Those people need look no further than Kia and Hyundai for a dose of truly unique styling.

We’ve driven the and before, , but never before have we had the chance to really live with them. This weekend, that’s my goal: Put one of the best-looking EVs on the market through its paces on a long holiday weekend in the New England suburbs.

My chariot for the test will be the Kia EV6, a rear-wheel drive GT-Line model. Rural Connecticut seems like a pretty accurate setting given how I suspect most of these vehicles will be used: parked in single-family garages and used to ferry people to work, shopping, and the occasional boba tea stop.

On those metrics, how will the EV6 perform? Will it be plush, comfortable, and fade into the background over pothole-filled roads? Will its charging range be manageable using 120V household outlets and the occasional Level 2 charger while out and about? Will it be too pretty, causing whiplash injuries in the Big Y parking lot as people crane their necks to see it pass by?

These are my questions, but what are yours? I’ll have the car for the full weekend, so I’ll have time to explore all the little details and nitpicks that matter when something becomes your only car. If you want to know cargo capacity, lumbar adjustment, or how many Hot Wheels cars can fit in the glovebox, leave your questions below. Also, maybe send in a Hot Wheel, because I do not have enough to measure with.

Using A Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen As A Camper Finally Gives It A Real Purpose
Using A Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen As A Camper Finally Gives It A Real Purpose
Most know the Mercedes-Benz G-Class as an ostentatious machine that sells for roughly the same price as a small house, drives sort of like a tank and binges on gasoline like a Dyson does on hairballs. But only part of that statement is always true. The G-Class is ancient and...

At $13,750, Will This 2000 Chevy Camaro SS Blow You Away?
Today’s Camaro is V8 powered, manual equipped, and turbocharged, and just like Julie Andrews sang, those are a few of our favorite things. Let’s see if this super clean SS’s price can be added to that list. Ferrari is on my list of “marques I appreciate being around but have...

At $40,000, Would This Custom 2008 Dodge Challenger Give ‘Em Hellcat?
You could buy a Dodge Challenger Hellcat for about $70K, or you could save thirty grand and buy today’s SRT8, which is also supercharged but features nitrous to boot. Let’s see if the car is up to the price’s challenge. At its $3,500 asking, even I thought the seller of...

For $3,500, Would You Rally To The Aid Of This 1988 Mazda 323 GTX?
Today’s 323 GTX is said to need some work to turn you into the next vintage rally champ. Let’s see if the cost of entry for doing so would make you a chump. So, a number of you took issue with my assertion that, from certain angles, and in the...
