Hello all-
I literally just learned about the Outlander PHEV 2 weeks ago when I was looking up hybrid SUVs. I've done similar searches previously, but for some reason, The Outlander PHEV never came up. Currently, I have a 2016.5 MAzda CX-5 and I am sooo tired of buying gas every 7-10 days! My car before that was a Lexus CT200h. I loved the little hatchback, but my kids were getting too big for it. I can't afford my dream car (Tesla) right now, so the Outlander PHEV seems like a happy medium. But, I have questions and would love the feedback of current owners:
1. It appears like the 2019 is not going to be released in the US anytime soon, right? (That is what I seem to be gathering from some of the threads and even an online chat with a dealership.)
2. I drive approximately 25 miles each way M-F to/from work. My job has plug-in stations. Would it be worth purchasing my own charging station for home?
3. I have read that the driver seat in 2018 is uncomfortable. Do many of you find that to be true?
4. Thoughts about resale/trade-in value? Since there are so few sold in the US, what kind of impact, if any, does that have on trading it in after about 3 or so years?
TIA
