The issue with Nissan and hybrid service is the training and commitment. Nissan has in the past made very strong comments about how hybrids are usless and should not be pursued. Then they flipped positions and worked a deal with Toyota to use their technology. Now they are starting to sell hybrids, but how many technicians have been trained on the systems and how to diagnose and repair them? The technology is great as Toyota has ben woring on it for many years, so I doubt there will be many issues, but it can happen.

With Marianne's strong feelings towards the plasma cluster, she should just get the Nissan and not look back. It will be a good car.
