To be blunt, as time goes by, the more I'm hesitant about anything new other than Toyota, Honda or Subaru.

I've got a modest little Chevy HHR, and have been blessed that it's done so well (granted, it's over 20 years old with less than 100k on it).

My biggest beef with electric is the auto industry did it's best to complicate one of the easiest cars to build. Electric doesn't need a clutch for a manual transmission, so no trying to learn stick. Motors are easier to replace and have more torque. Conversion hobbyists have been charging their home made EVs in garages, no Tesla station required.

Hybrids are a much better option than EV, but the industry is messing those up too. I loved the feel of the Ford Fusion, but the mechanics I knew hated it.

What I love about you're stomping grounds in Vegas is how much rebuilt old school Detroit iron is over there. My first choice would be a restored/rebuilt 1960s almost anything. They're still much less expensive than new cars, look fantastic, haul ass, and are easier to fix.
