No, I'm happy with my hybrid.

@Fluffybull what if they stopped doing hybrids?

@Senecaa I look after my cars and keep them a while. Current one has only 33,000 miles on the clock. He'll last a while 😊

@Senecaa They were going to do that in Britain but I understand that's been deferred at least.
A friend has just bought one new (she's richer than me!). She is happy with it but for one thing - a side proximity system that grabs the steering from you without warning! You can switch it off but not permanently, only for each journey.

@ArishMell That sounds awful! Mine's not new and gadgety which is what I wanted. Rear parking sensors great but I don't like a car to be in charge of me! 😆

@Fluffybull Indeed!
Even without dangerous "safety features", the more superfluous gadgetry they add to a car, the more there is to go wrong, and more the owner has to be ripped off for the repairs. Not by garages (except perhaps the main dealers) but the manufacturers themselves in parts prices.
