I drive a 9 year old Prius. 150,000 miles on it. Never any problems. Original batteries. My dealer wants it to resell because the market is so good. I don’t need a tank of an SUV. I keep the back seats folded down and have a space six feet long for hauling stuff. If I replaced it, I’d get another one. I might splurge on the loaded top of the line with batteries that plug in in the garage. That provides as much juice as I use in a day most weeks. Like a golf cart. That would be $36,000. How much is an utterly loaded CRV? The CRV Hybrid Touring starts there. I would definitely go hybrid if you can afford it. It’s great to be driving in slow traffic and realize it’s not costing much per minute.
