2015 but I am over mileage as I run my cars to death. Or used to. Last year due to lockdown I was emission exempt!

Next car is almost for sure a Hyundai as are all since 2005. One was an old model bought cheap and kept having issues. But it was a 2003, and I actually moved backwards from a 2005! That they are taking care of it probably ensures I will buy them again. That new Maverick is tempting though.

Hyundai is coming out with a uni-body car/truck similar to the Maverick called the Santa Cruz. Don't know the price point.

The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

It is the Santa Cruz. I will probably do it, Tuscon, or Maverick. Thing is I can get a trailer, register it in Maine, and that gives me the "bed" when I need it. My brother would easily split it with me and Maine trailer registration is forever and no need to even live there.

They Santa Fe Sport is nice but a hair too big for me. It is like driving a 70s car where it was hard to judge where everything is for parking. I have all but once bought used. Next car will be one of my last given my age and how long I keep them so might enjoy. New Tuscon is about the size of my 2003 Santa Fe that I loved the size all but for needing to haul 4x8. Explorer does that but they are both getting too large and are gas hogs. I really like the first Explorer so much more than today's.

Gives you an idea of how much faith the manufacturer has in that model. At least that’s my theory. For instance Volkswagen 6 years/72,000 miles for 2018 and 2019 models, 4 years/50,000 miles for 2020 models 6 years/72,000 miles for 2021. "Facts are whatever I say they are." - Trump
