Trading in my dream car for a Toyota hybrid for longevity, lower maintenance costs, and lower insurance costs.

Putting together the final paperwork when the warranty packages are introduced.

I decline all but the manager insists on one of them alone specifically covering electronics (and everything else for 10 years). He says that the newer Toyota’s electronics are expensive to replace and commonly malfunction or break. I figured this is just pushing warranty, but he got to me mentally and broke my confidence in the brand.

Was this guy just trying to get me to spend more money, or is there truth in his tale?

    Thanks for your input friend!

    The car I got only came in hybrid and I went with AWD because it pretty regularly gets crazy snowfall in my area. I know in the Honda hybrid the eCVT isnt really a CVT and assumed (incorrectly) that Toyota was similar.

    It was made in Japan!

      Correct, the hybrid CVT is just a motor generator.

      There are no gears and most shifts are simulated
