24. We owned 2 Honda Hybrids 2013ish time frame,,,,

Sun Jul 30, 2023, 06:33 PM

Jul 2023

A Honda Insight and a Honda CR-Z,,,,, loved them,,,, but eventually traded them in for a traditional gas Civic,,,, that little CR-Z was my favorite car ever.

Since then I have given up driving (old age and bad eyesight) We now have just one Honda HR-V traditional and it is in very good shape and we don't go far anymore,,,, so we will probably never jump on the electric vehicle bandwagon again.

We traded in the hybrids because of the cost of replacing one of those batteries,,,,
