Technology changes awful fast. Are 2017 Prius does all sorts of cool things, like parallel park on its own, it has little lights in the side mirrors in case someone is in the blind spot, it beeps if you get close to anyting on all four sides, the cruise control will follow the car in front of you at a preset distance Dash This one is probably the most handy. Just lots of cool safety features. And apparently it won’t let you run into anything from the front or back. We have tried to figure out how to test this, but don’t want to risk damaging the car. Maybe a hay bale.
I drive and old Rodeo. Thought about getting a newer car, but it is so reliable and never had serious problems. It’s a manual too. I never even liked automatic transmission.
