Jeezus I wouldn't wish a FCA product on my worst enemy. No matter how compelling.

Of course, I wouldn't wish a Corvette on my worst enemy either now.

For the OP's described usage case? Not a lot of driving because work from home? Tesla Model 3 Performance. Enough straight-line speed to blow the doors off of 99% of cars on the street today, and even hang the new C8 mid-engine Corvette. Due to low center of gravity, will likely handle nearly as well too, with backseats to boot. No long daily commute means charge it once and drive it for a month.

Plus the electric motor won't blow up, seize up, leaving you without a car at the dealership for 3-4 months at a time.

Unfortunately, for me, my rule is there must ALWAYS be a car with 3 pedals in the garage. ALWAYS. Otherwise the world ends and we all die. So if I was in the OP's shoes, I can't do the Model 3 Performance (although, *I* still can because the MZ4 Coupe is a 6 speed manual).

The only right answer, though, is always the only right answer to all car related questions.

Mazda Miata.
