I'm very happy with the Ford C-Max Energi I bought used last year. Plugging in rather than buying gas for most trips is awesome, and it fits my family of 5 fine. I bought it for $12,750 or so with 27k miles on it.
We're I buying again, I might go full EV to avoid ICE maintenance, and just rent to go out of town. They're practically giving away new Nissan Leafs as MMM discovered, and used EVs are very cheap for what you get if they fit your lifestyle.
