I want to rent a fiat 500e on our vacation to Italy, but my wife got very upset and wants me to rent a petrol SUV instead… even though it’ll just be the two of us. I tried showing her the EV charge station maps and how we can charge while we have snacks and coffee at scenic locations, but no dice.

How do I convince her that my plan is actually pretty good? I’d rather not drive a SUV, and pay twice as much on rent.

>Yeah you're crammed in like sardines and you have to stop to charge every two hours, but at least you get to look like a massive faggot while driving it
>>
>>28597927
not a valid or correct argument.
>crammed
it fits a 6’4” man just fine.
>stop
yes? stopping every once in a while for coffee and gelato or shopping in a small coastal town is the goal?
charging takes 20 minutes, too, which is the time anyone will take for a break or some shopping.
also, we’re not driving across the country, we’re staying between Naples and Rome.
>massive faggot
I can do without the projection, thx.
>>
>>28597922
Do you need a permission to go in the bathroom? Stay in your country and don't spend any money in italy, suv are for dumb people who want to drive generic cars that everybody already have and that somehow show how rich you are, it's all about status

You are a gay man, aren't you

I have two compromise options: a station wagon (likely Audi), or a jeep avenger EV. It can’t be a fiat, apparently.
My personal car is an Audi A5 sportback, and her’s is a Jeep Renegade (a rebadged fiat), so this is already giving me a headache.

>rent a petrol SUV in Italy in 2000 and 25
>petrol is very expensive, at around €1,80 per litre
>only suitable parking lots for your SUV are going to be the expensive ones
>traditional streets are very narrow and you'll 100% scratch the bodywork (expensive)
>as you said: rent is twice as expensive
>you'll not have the real mamma-mia-pizzeria experience
if you're millionaires and want to waste money or you've very poor taste and don't want to enjoy Italy, be my guest. otherwise rent a cool and intelligent car
>>
>>28597949
>Jeep Renegade
Why are women obsessed with this car and suv in general? i would take a roadster just to make her mad
>>
>>28597922
At least try to convince her to rent a petrol Fiat 500 instead of a large SUV. I've been to Italy trust me you will regret renting an SUV.

they think that small car = dangerous deathtrap

>>28597953
she comes from a family of SUV and truck drivers, and no, I’m not doing that.
>>28597952
I think the absolute best thing I can get will be a plug-in hybrid jeep renegade, I see it as one of the rental options, despite the fact it’s not very… “italian”, even though it’s assembled in the fiat factory.

Imagine being this whipped holy shit

>>28597967
>plug-in hybrid jeep renegade
actually it's one of the most common cars here, and even if it's made in Italy it's not half-bad
>>
>>28597944
SUVs are the standard car now though
>>
>>28597922
Jeez. Grow up a pair and dump the cunt. Why are you even asking a woman what YOU should do?
>>
>>28597972
I don’t see any Volvo on the list, just Ford and Fiat SW.
The EV cuckovers are available though.

lol

>>28597994
>dude just dump your wife!
no, stop listening to incel podcasters.
>why are you-
a bad husband is a complete tyrant, and yes, being a pushover isn’t a good thing at all. marriage is a journey that needs balance and common ground, and if one side is definitely right about something (*cough* like me *cough*), they have to take the extra mile to convince the other side, but that doesn’t always guarantee success.

are you really trying to teach healthy relationships on this Bangladeshi Thaumatrope forum?

btw rent a Fiat station wagon would be wacky and unorthodox

I mean if I was your wife I'd be pretty upset to learn that I married a faggot as well.

If it's north of Rome, get an RWD car with enough power (and more interior space)
If it's south of Rome, don't fucking drive
>I tried showing her the EV charge
Oh, it's bait. Go suck your "wife"'s dick.
>>
>>28597952
>only suitable parking lots for your SUV are going to be the expensive ones
Bullshit.
>traditional streets are very narrow and you'll 100% scratch the bodywork (expensive)
These streets are for walking anyway. Hotel/airbnb is only reason to get there in a car.
>you'll not have the real mamma-mia-pizzeria experience
Northern Italy is the driver's Mecca, you need a decent driver's car not a cheesy cuckbox on wheels.
>>
>>28597934
You wife is more of a man than you are kys
>>
>>28598129
>RWD
I see, so a Tesla? but that’s not very bellisimo.
>b-bait!
stop thinking about dicks
>>
>>28598244
Tesla roadster is obsolete, so it's still bait. Get lost.
>>
>>28598355
All teslas are RWD or AWD tho

CUV's arent any larger inside than cars inside aside from the hatch area and head height in some cases.

>>28597922
That car looks disgusting, besides there's nothing to visit in this shithole

1: it's an Italian classic. It's like doing Germany in a Beetle or France in a 2CV. It's just right.

2: The 500e is much, MUCH better suited to the roads there. The country roads are narrow, twisty and often steep, and the city roads are somehow smaller and tighter. There's a reason the Italians made the 500 in the first place. If you want to go to somewhere like Brunate in anything bigger than a Skoda you might as well be driving a bus.

3: The fucking mopeds. It's not a joke, mopeds are fucking everywhere. Rome has SWARMS of the bastards. In the 500e you'll be at eye level with them and better be able to look out for them. In the elevated position of a big fat SUV, it's easier to miss them and turn "how do I say sorry to an angry moped rider in Italian" into "how do I explain to the Carabinieri why the paramedics are scraping a guy's face off my tyres"?

4: Italy is a quite dense country, in terms of population distribution. Most cities are only about 2 to 3 hours away from each other, so by the time you need to charge, you're already at your destination or close enough that local public transport can get you the rest of the way. And with how dense some of their cities are, and how good their public transport is in general, I'd argue it's a better idea to do that than drive straight into the middle of Milan.

5: Stopping for a break means you can enjoy the local coffee. You're going to a place where even fucking McDonald's uses real coffee machines and real grinds and gives you your cappuchino in a glass mug. By stopping off for 20 minutes or so every now and then, you get to enjoy some of the best coffee you'll ever taste in a great environment. That alone is worth visiting for.

6: You really don't appreciate how much quieter an electric car is until you've sat in it, moved, and heard fucking *nothing*. Petrol cars are fine and dandy and all, but for a pleasure cruise around one of the prettiest countries in Europe I'd choose the EV any day.
