[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 7 year old Honda that needs nothing but maintenance (so far).  Just hitting 100,000.  I will likely keep it til at least 150,000.  Not sure how many years that will be.  Longer if it is still going strong.

I am diligent about preventive maintenance.  I do not want a car to leave me stranded.  As long as it doesn't do that, it's all good, and I'll keep it.  [/quote]

Oh, and I should add it has all the current safety features.  Nothing new of great importance has been added since I got this car.   Huge advances in safety would make me want to buy new.[/quote]

Does it have[b] blind spot monitoring? Will it warn you if you fall asleep or are on path to hit something[/b]? [/quote]

PLEASE, pp, what cars do this?

I drive a 15 year old Honda. It works great. 120K miles. Lots of dents, a little rust, but it runs great. Does not tell me when I'm falling asleep though. That would be useful. [/quote]

We just bought a new Acadia that has all of these features -- a little light goes on at the top of the side mirror when a car is in your blind spot, it beeps if you cross over the line on a road, and it warns you if you get too close to a car or object in front of you (you need to be going over a certain speed and not applying breaks). It also has a fantastic backup camera with guidelines and colored warning zones, and it will even tell you if a car or person is approaching from the side when you are backing out of your driveway or parking spot. Also has heads up display, which projects your speed and any navigational directions at the base of the windshield as you are driving. [/quote]
