Well my 10 year old small-SUV I was gifted in college is requiring more maintenance by the day, so I'm going to go test drive a few cars this weekend. The nearby CarMax has a 2013 Chevy Volt with 62k miles for $14k, and a 2013 Corolla L with 31k miles for $12k (or LE for $13k). They've got tons of Corollas to choose from, that was just one of the first few I saw.
I'll probably test them both out, but does anyone here have an opinion who's driven one or both? I currently have a 13 mile round trip commute so the all electric is appealing, but since my commute is so short it won't save me all that much $ either. My girlfriend's car would probably be used for longer road trips, although I do want the capability in case we both go somewhere at the same time. I also live in Texas so charging stations probably aren't as pervasive as in some parts of the country.
