Nope. Rav4, not even a hybrid which made me a little sad but if the time comes when I have to leave my car for the winter and it isn't being used, it isn't good to not drive a hybrid for more than a couple weeks because of the battery. Has all the safety bells and whistles I was looking for and figured it would be better to get a car loan while I was still employed or would have put off a new car for a few more years. Driving in MA with the Prius could be frightening at times because of the blind spots that model (2012) had. I hear the newer ones are better but still would have had the hybrid battery issue. She's pretty, too. I'm loving the red--must be my senior life crisis kicking in. :)

Aww, sweet ride--very nice M! So glad you won't have to mess around with the snow tyres.

Nice new car! - love that red colour :love_heart:

Why didn't I think of that? (applying for a loan before I retired)

I'm still stuck with my boring old 2007 Jeep Liberty :(

Thanks! On the flip side, I'll be making car payments for the next four years which will mean having to take more out of my pension fund every month and yours is most likely paid for. I might be regretting not just getting a good used car once the salary stops. :(

Yeah - Andy paid it off for me (he reminds me of this some times when I want him to give me some cash for the bills) :stupid:
