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.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
