Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

I bought a 2020 Honda Accord, and I have absolutely zero (meaningful) complaints.

Things I like about it so much that they are requirements for future car purchases:

Adaptive cruise control
Brake-holding
Tactile inputs for media, cruise control, or climate control (almost wasn’t going to mention this, but new cars are shifting away from this, which I can’t stand)
A respectably-snappy infotainment system that supports CarPlay

Little things:

Adaptive cruise control is always ready to be set, so I can just head out and immediately start using it (I’m one of those people who likes to use cruise control at every possible opportunity)
Comfortably seats 4, if I ever need it to
It just looks nice, inside and out, in my opinion

Ooh. What’s brake holding?

I think they're referring to Hill Assist. In manual cars if you let your foot off the brake you start to roll down hill. This is dangerous if you're parked or stopped facing uphill with another car close behind you.

For generations, this was a problem that people had to deal with, and it took some skill. About 15ish years ago manufacturers started putting a feature on that would automatically hold the brakes until your foot hit the gas.
