you definitely did the right thing. The fact that it came with blue interior is an easy decision to walk away regardless what the exterior paint color is. Having blue interior equates to being moody while sitting inside and driving. What was Nissan thinking? How many blue interiors are there in the automotive world? None besides Ariya? Does Nissan want us to puke inside our Ariya?
My first choice while at the 2021 LA Auto Show was Deep Ocean Blue Evolve + with light gray interior. I liked it enough to place my order right there on the spot. However, after seeing my neighbor’s brand new 2022 White Model Y with white interior in Feb 2022, I decided to change my order to White Pearl exterior with light gray interior. The White/Black exterior and light gray interior looks so smoking HOT.
Since this is my first rodeo as an EV buyer, I did not want to splurge knowing there will be many more EVs down the road to choose from. $50K was my budget, with or without the $7500 tax savings.
Overall, i strongly believe the Nissan Ariya is a great value for the technology we get for $50K. The fact that Nissan has 12 years of electrification was an easy decision to place my purchase.
