I've been looking pretty hard at CUVs (like the Honda CR-V) because my wife clearly wants one. My choice at this point is a Hyundau Tucson Hybrid (which I have not driven). My daughter had a Tuscon regular vehicle which I rode in briefly, seemed OK.
These things are larger than I prefer and not as fun to drive as the GTI, but whatever. The above gets good fuel economy on regular gas and probably is "OK" and $40K. I'll try and put it off as long as I can.
My wife has now blown two tires on the GTI in town hitting something. It's not nearly as bad as the Caddy was, but it's not ideal either. I looked at EVs, no way the math works for us. I'd probably seriously look at the BMW X1 but it has two apparent flaws I couldn't live with. Maybe they get fixed, maybe not.
I've noticed a few more EVs in our parking garages here, a Volvo and a Subaru recently.
