Default waiting on my "new" 06 Escape Hybrid

Just a couple days hopefully, my mechanic said to get the dealership to put in a new serpentine belt and take care of a tear in the axle boot.

I'm looking forward to hopefully getting comparable mileage in a small suv to what I was getting in my Mazda 3 (maybe even better since I do something like 60% city driving these days). I'll miss the 3 being able to take corners, but think I'll be happier with AWD and a little extra space. Plus you need to get a newer 3 with the luxury package to get the power seat.

Also looking forward to the regen breaking for going down hills and trying to get the gas engine to turn off, I think it'll be a game for me.

I'm already looking at aftermarket car stereos, probably double din. although I may wait for CES in January and new models coming out;i think i want the MTP to handle newer cellphones that use that instead of old usb mass storage.
