It sounds like something like a Volvo V70 would’ve been a better fit. Those beats can swallow a house, including its residents, and with a bike rack it can carry the whole neighborhoods bikes.
I don’t know where the person you’re replying to is from, but in the US Volvo’s are very expensive to buy and very expensive to maintain. They are a luxury brand through and through. They’re good cars but the average person cannot afford to purchase or maintain one.
I can’t seem to find those these days - I see Volvo V60 and V90. The Volvo V60 does have a PHEV variant which does appeal but ultimately it seems to be the same form factor and capacity as a Subaru Outback or Chevy Volt; I’ve experience with both of those and they has far less usable storage in the back than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV we ended up with.
As the Volt does, though, this could be a legit option for replacing that for the wife. That said, the price seems ridiculously high - over here, I’m seeing them go for ~52-58k whereas my Outlander was “only” 48.
