It’s the Honda CRV Hybrid. It’s not an EV. It’s like 33k for the FWD.

Glad to hear ….. and CRV should have a decent resale value in a few years as is your plan.

I had a Model Y which creaked like a 80’s chevy. If you’re expecting EVs to either get very cheap or not get ‘lame’ maybe you shouldn’t get one to start with. Also selling half a million leafs isn’t lame. Talk about customer service it took 8 weeks for Tesla to replace a bruised fender and a bill of 6k. You need to consider TCO in case of an EV, and teslas aren’t cheap wrt maintenance.

Sreek- just out of curiosity- what year was your Y?

Hello..2019

Fortunately I was able to get the refund. Only took me like 5 times of calling. Afterward I decided it was good thing I didn’t buy an Ariya. If they can’t even get the website working right the Airya is gonna be same.

What’s even more amazing is I follow one of the VW ID4 Facebook pages and see that car having problems non stop and their app is even worse. Yet somehow people just write it off like it’s not a big deal we’re early adopters things will improve with the software update. I would bet the Nissan Ariya will have some the same growing pains as well. You pay a premium over a comparable ICE vehicle yet all the functions and technology does not work like it supposed to and people say it’s no biggie. I just don’t get it. Guess people have low expectations and are more worried about looking like their saving the planet in an EV. I just start looking at the competition and all negatives and decided the Airya was not a good fit. Although sometimes I wish I could just go to the dealer and be like look at my new Airya, I got great financing on a 36 month loan and the dealer sold at MSRP, but then I would just have buyers remorse.

My ariya is fabulous!! No problems at all. Everything works fine! I don't know what happened to make you feel the ariya is a bad car, sorry you lost out on a great car. I have the 1st ariya delivered to nor cal.. I couldn't be happier....I don't have buyers remorse at all.

I did a lot of research and analysis. When I really started looking into the TCO and depreciation value it was not as good as I hoped. Also not being eligible for the ev tax credit didn’t help.

Lastly, my brother builds houses and has done really well for himself. He tends to have a pretty good pulse on things that are popular and hold their value. I showed him the Airya and he laughed at it and was not to impressed. The more I thought about the more he was right. It’s just kinda of a small plain SUV with nothing that really stands out. You look at Lyriq or the Ioniq 5 and 6 and they have the it factor. Like they just look unique and new age.

This..I don’t quite agree with. Taste is subjective

Yes the design is subjective, beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. I will avoid discussing the specs of the Ariya compared to the competition. Those are facts that don’t favor the Nissan.

I am well aware this is NISSAN forum and I am not change anyone’s mind. I’m the same way, when I make my mind up think something is the best I loose all rational and logic to do whatever it takes to get that item.

At the end of day and for me, I am happy I passed on the Airya. I didn’t LOOSE out as you say, looks there are plenty for sale in my area. I also new cars were going to be coming out that were pretty slick and I would want to trade the Ariya in on one them, to which I would prolly lose alot of money. Congrads to those that go one, as your part of early adopters for the EV revolution.
