Good grief! It's not like the TCH's only value is that it's a hybrid and uses less gas. I love this car for what it is and does, and a great fringe benefit is that doesn't suck gas.

It's a great car no matter what. It's smooth with its CVT, and quiet, with all the power and torque I'll ever need, has extras that are just plain nice, and in my case, is a car built like a vault with nary a rattle nor a hiccup to be found as of yet, after 2500 miles. I wonder if the U.S. built models, like mine, had the original complaints of rattles and squeaks from the first Japanese models tuned out during production. I just can't find a quirk to complain about. Maybe later, eh?
