Pretty much the same as you.. we use it for a short jaunt to just the store and back(15 to 20 miles) or for vacations of longer than 100 miles from home. For the longer jaunts around home and short vacations, we have an EV6 which we use for that. Since we use the PHEV for really long trips, we love the softer suspension. It's great when you don't feel every bump and crack in the road.
