You sound like an American. You want a sub-zero air-conditioner, tectonic-scale sound system, the ability to tow errant icebergs with or without a trailer, and to get more than 100 miles per gallon.
I'm with you.
I put in my time in old VW bugs, and even a Chevrolet Vega(ly-a-car). Now, I want my relaible comfort, since we tend to take long trips.
e.g., it was CHEAPER for the wife & I to drive a Ford Expedition from Rapid City, SD to Dover, DE & back to pick up a collectable pinball machine, than it was to get it shipped. Add in visits to friends along the way, and a side trip to Niagra Falls, and we had a trelatively inexpensive vaction as well.
Same thing with the F-350 & our 14,000# flatbed, to pick up a small dozer in Idaho.
Try that in a Volt.
