I hold onto cars as long as I can, too. My Ford Escape has been reliable for the most part, but the computer it runs on has cost me $1200 from one problem, and $700 from another. I suspect they are programmed to go out so the dealer can rake in more $$. (Or as Click and Clack say, to make a boat payment.) Other than that, it's been a great car. I think a hybrid that can run on electric and gasoline is a reasonable way to transition off of strictly gas vehicles. I am leery of all-electric vehicles, especially when places like Texas have problems with the power grid during extreme high or low temperatures. I hope you and your new "horse" have a long and happy relationship!
