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

Not the poster:
I'm sure not, but those features give me pause.... are they for people with apnea, no neck flexibility?  I have blind spot monitoring by driving defensively.[/quote]

This made me laugh out loud. [/quote]

I was skeptical about these new features, but then I rented a car that had them and realized that they'd be great for a new driver.  It's like having Mom in the passenger seat.  "Watch out! Slow down!"  Would probably drive my kid crazy, but that's his problem.  I really didn't find it annoying, though, because the warning generally went off at the exact same time that I realized that I was closing in on another car too fast, there was someone in my blind spot, etc.  So I don't think it would make a great safety difference for me, but it probably would for an inexperienced driver.
