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.

At $46,995, Could This 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Still Have Nine Lives Left?
At $46,995, Could This 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Still Have Nine Lives Left?
Today’s Challenger is one of the cars that started the modern hella-horsepower wars. Let’s see if this one’s depreciated price means it’s now well worth going into battle. Volvo’s venerable 200-series has a well-earned reputation for stoutness that is easily matched by its innocuous nature. Yesterday’s provided prima facie...

At $20,000, Could This Innocuous 2008 Ford E150 Be A Sleeper You Could Sleep In?
On the outside, today’s E150 is the epitome of the creeper van. The van’s custom camper interior, however, is as inviting as can be. Let’s see if the price means that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Years ago—decades really—an executive at Porsche was asked why the company...

Rally-bred homologations may be a rare breed, but at least Subaru’s kept the flame alive. Today’s WRX may not be as raw and exciting as its OG predecessors, but that doesn’t mean its price shouldn’t offer anything other than smooth sailing. There was a lot to like about yesterday’s...

Front-wheel drive sports coupes were once rife on our nation’s highways and byways, but their popularity has been usurped by crossovers. Today’s Acura RSX represents one of the breed’s best, but will its price have you wishing it had stayed forgotten? Hey boys and girls, what time is it?...
