New car day for us

Teal colored low-poly ass overgrown hatchback of an electric car
I have been seriously researching and shopping for a couple of months, and closed the deal yesterday on a new (to us) EV, a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
We had our Honda Fit for just a few months short of 10 years, and it was a total champ. That Fit took us from MN to as far as Oregon and Toronto and back. We loved the small size and large cargo space, the purple color, the utter reliability, but the spike in gas prices, the flood of good options fresh off of 3-year leases and good trade-in value for the Fit made it feel like the right time to make a change.
Not enough miles with it yet to be past the honeymoon period, but so far it's total blast to drive and i'm hopeful it'll be as good to us for the next many years as that Honda.

Congrats! The Ioniq 5 is one of my upgrade pics over the Kona EV I've had for the last 3+ years.
