I just traded in my 2004 Arc Wagon and will miss it badly. What I won't miss is going to the shop every other month to have something fixed, putting super unleaded in the car, 2 head gaskets in the 1st 100,000 miles and another one at 129,000 that I was going to have to do among countless other problems since it was new, so i traded it in for the Prius. I certainly will miss the comfort, power and handling from the 9-5. The 1st 1050 miles on the Prius cost me $25 in gas (the dealer filled it up 1st when I purchased it. I also think about the countless days (time) I had to bring it to the shop to have fixed. I always did my own oil changes so that doesn't count. Will miss that turbo pull but it is really fun getting 52.3 miles per gallon. Maybe I will be back when they come out with something more reliable that gets over 50 mpg.
