@happymomof1 if you don’t plan to or are unable to plug a car in…do not buy one that has that capability. Waste of money.
We also ditched a Honda Accord with 250,000 Miles plus on it…that needed a new catalytic converters. DH bought a used VW Golf diesel…from the estate of a friend. He loves that car… but let’s just say…replacing with a new diesel VW isn’t going to be happening!
DH has looked at hybrid and regular engine cars. At this point, hybrid prices are down because gas prices are down. We have driving the hybrids of just about every make. Honestly, the Prius has THE most uncomfortable seats of all of them unless you get the top of the line model. They are hard, and uncomfortable…and no one in our family liked them…the mileage would not have swayed us.
For our next car, we will likely get an Impreza hatchback…we think. Gas engines are so much more fuel efficient than in 2000. You will find even the gas powered cars are more fuel efficient than your Accord from 2000.
@oldfort we liked the fusion also. Comfortable for sure. And very quiet. Friends have a fusion hybrid…and love it.
