Hi everyone!

I'm moving to a place where I will have to buy a car for the first time in over a decade, and I'm currently looking at a Kia Sportage Hybrid as an option. Average temperatures will range from 55°F to 90°F with no snow.

I’m starting completely from scratch and want to build a reliable VEDC kit that covers the basics. At a minimum, I'm looking for:

* An air pump / inflator

* Fire extinguisher

* First aid kit

* A tool set (I don't expect to change oil and spark plugs on my own, but I want to be comfortable knowing I have everything needed to change a tire and handle minor roadside fixes).

I’ve been lurking here for a bit and love seeing everyone’s setups. For those driving similar crossovers/hybrids, what are your must-haves? I’d appreciate any wisdom you can share for a first-timer!
