RE: I don’t want a hybrid either. Still has a battery that will go bad and is expensive to replace.
I own a 2008 Toyota Prius. At 192,000 miles, it still runs very well. Of courser, I’ve never driven it more than 200 miles from where I live. For that, I still rely on my ICE car.
My youngest daughter owns a 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid, from brand new. Also has many miles on it and runs like new. She has driven it on multiple trips from California to Kansas, Texas, Iowa and Minnesota. She intends to turn it over to her daughter someday. Nissan licensed the tech from Toyota, but stopped making those hybrids early on. A shame, because the ICE engine is far more powerful than the Toyota version.
