I have a V8 (2004 Lexus LS430) and it's whisper quiet so I only hear the V8 rumble if I open the double glazed windows and floor it. It does 24Mpg(UK) on average and I fit in it, which is my most important criteria. It's comfy, quiet, powerful, reliable, smooth, fast, effortless, and most importantly,... paid for (cost me £4500 seven years ago).
I have driven a few EVs including Tesla S, Y, and 3, as well as a Kia EV6 and a family members Renault Zoe. I mostly like them but none of them have the interior space of the LS430 and the EVs build quality is mostly poor (the Kia was the exception), probably due to the use of weight saving materials. Even the current LS500h isn't as nice as my 20 year old 2 ton barge. The smoothness of the motor and the instant torque in EVs is nice but the lack of a gearbox makes no difference to me as my LS430 has the smoothest automatic gearbox I have ever driven. The range is still an issue for me as is the cost and the size of vehicle I need, so I shall be sticking with my antique dinosaur burner for a while yet. The actual range is not an issue most of the time, but EVs lack the flexibility that ICE cars have to be able to do vast mileage at a moments notice. You also don't have to go out of your way to find an available/working charger, although finding an open petrol station in France can sometimes be a challenge. <LOL>
Finally, the chances of me ever buying a car made since 2021 is pretty much nil. I hate the nagware and interference systems built into almost all modern cars. By all means fit it, but I want the option to disable it PERMANENTLY if I so choose.
